Manfred-Michael Sackmann (* 27 July 1952 in Seesen; † 20 February 2024[1]) was a German photographer.
Life
editSackmann grew up in Salzgitter. He began taking photographs at the age of 19. He moved to West Berlin in 1975. From 1978 to 1982 he trained at the Werkstatt für Photographie with Ulrich Görlich. He has been a member of the Berlin Artists' Association since 1992. In 1994 he was appointed to the German Society for Photography (DGPh).[2] Sackmann lived and worked in Berlin-Steglitz and Berlin-Neukölln.[3]
Work
editMan as a cultural and social actor is the predominant theme of Sackmann's work. Outsiders in society in particular were at the centre of his interest early on. Since the late 1970s, he has produced photo series of gay bars and "fag balls". Since the 1980s, he has also produced documentary series of vernissages and "beauty pageants". Sackmann also works in the studio,[4] where he devotes himself in particular to nude and portrait photography.[5]
In the 1980s and 1990s in particular, he created internationally acclaimed portrait series of personalities from contemporary history in various collaborations, including Leni Riefenstahl, Joseph Beuys, A. R. Penck, Helmut Newton, Markus Lüpertz, Andy Warhol, Wolf Vostell, Hans-Olaf Henkel, Klaus Töpfer, Birgit Breuel and Detlev Rohwedder.[6][7][8][9]
Sackmann has contributed numerous photo articles to various trade journals and magazines, including in European Photography, Fotografie, KULTur, Der Spiegel, Tip, Zeitmagazin, Zitty and ZOOM.[10] Sackmann's photo documentaries on the social effects of the immunodeficiency disease Aids in the 1980s met with great interest. He popularised the slogan "Don't give AIDS a chance!" internationally through his documentaries. [11][12][13][14]
Reception of non-European art
editFrom the early 1990s, Sackmann began to focus intensively on the aesthetics of non-European art. Apart from building up his own extensive private collection, he also produced detailed pictorial documentation, particularly on African art. Masterpieces of non-European art from Sackmann's collection have found their way into various international museums. Collaborations in connection with the reception of non-European cultures have resulted, among others, with the ethnologist Nils Seethaler, the gallery owner Rudolf Springer[15] and the Samurai Museum Berlin.[16]
