Olaf Heine will hold a master class in August for photography enthusiasts who dream of seeing how great photographs are born.

@olafheinestudio

Photography has been the ever-present constant in my life since the age of eight and I love creating images today just as much as I did on day one. Only yesterday, a client and friend asked me how I maintain this enduring passion, how I keep coming up with new ideas, and how I have survived in this industry. To be honest, it is a valid question that does not allow for a simple answer... Everything is constantly changing. New techniques, new ideas, new generations of art directors, clients and collectors, new demands and approaches, new media formats - everything is constantly in flux, and it always remains absolutely exciting.

What I can say, however, is that I continue to draw the most inspiration from the the personal exchange, the interaction with the people in front of and behind my camera, the artists I have the privilege of collaborating with, the complexity of the the subjects, and the desire to express myself creatively while constantly focussing and shifting my perspective on the world. That is what drives and motivates me. Anyone interested in learning more about my approach, my perspectives, and my way of working now has the opportunity to do so.

As part of the HUMAN CONDITIONS exhibition at the Kunsthalle Rostock, I will be conducting a „masterclass" - I guess that's what they call it these days. The workshop invites participants to sharpen their personal perspective, incorporate their own experiences and observations into their work, and create a space where photography serves both as a tool for critical engagement and as a medium for personal storytelling. I aim to offer insights into my work - spanning three decades in the entertainment and art industries - that explores the relationship between expression, the body, and space. You can find more details via the link in my bio. I look forward to seeing you there.

In the preface to Till's reprint of Father Werner Lindemann's book, "Mike Oldfield in a Rocking Chair," he wrote: "Life does not bind father and son with a rope, They must swim along the river of time And often drown, As happened to the two royal children." This short poem refers to a German folk ballad in which the conflict between generations is the ideological key point.

The relationship between son and father was undoubtedly complex, especially since Till's period of growing up coincided with radical changes in social life, which further exacerbated certain contradictions between them.

In the afterword to the publication, Till writes: "He has a job, he even has a car, he has music, he has a girlfriend – and at his age I was lying in the trenches... It was always presented to me like that. He regularly made me feel guilty, at the very least, he put himself on a pedestal in relation to me: I shouldn't complain."

Disputes about the war, the premonition of the collapse of the socialist system, the new wave in culture, including music, created the ground for conflict, but after reading this book, you understand that the father values Till and deeply experiences the difficulties of their relationship.

Gitta Lindemann later said that if Werner had not died in 1993, a closer relationship would have developed between him and Till, and this is proven by the fact that Till nevertheless republished the book, which at first caused him outrage.

"I found this extremely unpleasant. I saw it as a close examination of my life. And he just laid it out without asking me. He could have at least shown it to me beforehand. He simply presented me with a fait accompli, of course, it was outrageous."

"I first read it properly in 1993, after my father's death. Even then, I found it all rather unfair. I still thought it was nothing but hidden malice directed at me. Only now, on the occasion of this reprint, have I truly read it consciously and intensively, with a desire to understand and open up to the book."

It is quite natural that in his collection of poems, “On a Quiet Night,” Till touchingly recalls his father.

Vatertag

Tag für Tag und Stund um Stunde

fließt dein Blut durch meine Venen

in Minuten und Sekunden

verdünnt mit Angst und kalten Tränen

Du treibst in deiner Einsamkeit

Allein auf hoher See

Und rufst mir Worte in den Wind

Die ich nicht versteh

Wo bist du

Hab deine Augen im Gesicht

ich kenne dich

kenn dich nicht

trag dein Blut mit mir umher

Ich kenne dich

kenn dich nicht mehr

Du treibst in deiner Einsamkeit

Allein auf tiefer See

nachts im Traum stehst du vor mir

du tust mir nicht mehr weh

Wo bist du.

FATHER'S DAY

Day after day and hour after hour

Your blood flows in my veins

In minutes, seconds of happiness

You dissolve the anxiety of the cold of tears

You drive away your loneliness with force

You go alone into the open sea

You shout to me the words you want to say something

But I don't hear them through the wind and rain

Where are you?.. My eyes are yours, my face is yours

I know youI don't know you

Your blood rushes into my ardent heart

I know you

I don't know you anymore

You drive away your loneliness with force

You go alone into the open sea

At night in my dreams you come to me again

You don't hurt me like you hurt me during the day...

Where are you...

A performance of "Heirate Mich" at the Big Day Out festival in Sydney in 2001. The moment when Paul's boat floats through the crowd. The first boats were small and unstable, and Flake often fell out of them. Paul also had difficulty rocking under the touch of human hands, but ultimately emerged victorious, even stumbling slightly with joy as he returned to the stage.

Rammstein - Rammstein (Official Making Of)

About the video of "Rammstein" and David Lynch.

Schneider : We sat in the village where Till was from, in a local eatery, scribbled lines together on a scrap of paper, and imagined how this catastrophe had happened. Images formed before our eyes, each of us wrote a line, and thus the finished text emerged.

Richard: The record company said to us, "Guys, you're a band now, and a band needs a video. Can you find someone to shoot it?" We thought about it and suggested David Lynch.

They stared at us and probably thought we'd fallen from the moon. "Why not? Ask him."

Till: It's not that we had delusions of grandeur, it's just that we've always believed that nothing ventured, nothing gained. We still feel that way today.

Richard: So, the record company sent Lynch a package. He was filming "Lost Highway" at the time. The mailman came to see him that morning. He was getting into his car and getting ready to go to work. He received the package and was so delighted that, according to Bill Pullman, the film's lead actor, he played our music for the actors. They liked it so much that they started jamming to it. Our dark music appealed to him.

Paul: When we were asked for permission to use our songs in his film, we naturally agreed: we'd probably be heard on the car stereo or the kitchen radio while the main character was eating his eggs. The fact that our music was actually given such a prominent place amazed and delighted us.

Schneider: It was absolutely amazing that David Lynch, who makes intellectual films, used our music. For us, it was like being knighted. Back then, there were very conflicting opinions about us in Germany: What kind of music is this? Who needs it?

Paul: I think it's all about our uniqueness compared to American bands. German voices, music. And the song begins to represent something new to an American. That's why he liked it.

Schneider: The immediate impression was that David Lynch didn't understand what we were singing and that he wasn't capable of evaluating it. But something inspired the film crew, the people.

Paul: We've always been treated much more calmly abroad, because no one there is as afraid of us and of themselves as here in Germany.

Till: At first it was just the sleeves, then the neck was added. The fire zone kept getting larger. More and more incendiary gel was needed, and the flames grew higher. It's a ready-made pyrotechnic trick; the coat burns for almost four minutes. But we'll still tinker with it. It will burn even longer. It's still the same coat. By the way, it has even already learned to speak.

Paul: It's an honor to be part of a David Lynch film. It doesn't matter what country you're from. I don't even know if we deserved it. At football, no one asks how it happened either. The main thing is winning. Many people around the world were delighted, but many Germans were puzzled: "We have so much good stuff here, why did Lynch choose this?" So we were happy to give those eternal critics a hard time.

Richard: I tried really hard, but I still couldn't get it. There were images and stories that you can't understand, and maybe you shouldn't, but they fit so well. The moment the music came into the film, everyone immediately said, "Oh, this is cool!"

Paul: Whenever we're in Los Angeles, we talk about stopping by to see him, but we're too lazy. I'd be interested to hear what the maestro has to say about all this.
