EAST COAST TO WEST COAST & CLEVER MINDS

Alfred Seiland began photographing as a self-taught artist in the late 1960s. He started out using 35mm film, switching to analog large-format cameras in 1979. Since the mid-1970s, he has photographed exclusively in color. His focus is on landscape photography in the broadest sense. His work from 1995 to 2001 for the FAZ campaign “Dahinter steckt immer ein kluger Kopf” (There’s always a clever mind behind it) and his long-term project “Imperium Romanum” over the last 20 years have attracted international attention and made Seiland one of the most important photographers of our time. He has received numerous awards and his work is represented in the collections of major museums around the world, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and have been shown in major solo exhibitions, such as at the Albertina in Vienna, as well as at photo festivals such as Les Rencontres d’Arles.

From 1997 to 2019, Alfred Seiland was professor of photography at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.
