Christoph Siegert
Hamburg
Christoph Siegert’s exhibition "Rock Stars" recently opened its doors in Hamburg. The images also featured in this Spotlight, are a tribute to the Rock 'n' Roll era; a homage to the recording of the legendary Rolling Stones album "Exile on Main Street". The photos are set in a location resembling Keith Richards' villa in the south of France, where the stones immersed themselves in an atmosphere of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll while surrounded by groupies to record this album.
Christoph Siegert transported that lifestyle, feeling and attitude into the present and reinterpreted it for the 21st century. In a cool setting with quotations of the sixties and seventies, Christoph sets the scene with a contemporary style and a modern perspective and his own unique visual language.
Recently commissioned work includes:
The new Hamburg S-Bahn image campaign with handball world champion Pascal Hens. Together with the Hamburg-based agency Scholz and Friends Neumarkt.
The national image campaign for Deutsche Bahn's Regio bus lines in Berlin. The supporting agency was Scholz and Friends Berlin.
