Jens Rötzsch, a Berlin-based photographer, refined his skills at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig during the 1980s, before establishing himself as a freelance photographer in Berlin. Renowned for his documentary series "Protokoll-Strecken," he captured the transition from the SED dictatorship to a new era in East Germany post-Wende. As a founding member of the Ostkreuz image agency, Rötzsch's work has been featured in publications like Zeit Magazin and GEO, earning him prestigious awards such as the World Press Prize in 2002. – Edges of print slightly rubbed, some very light handling creases on mount and print, otherwise in very good condition.
