Jörg Sasse (born 1962) is a German photographer.[1][2] His work uses found images that are scanned, pixelated and manipulated.[3]
In 2003 Sasse won the Cologne Fine Art Award[4] and in 2005 was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize.[3] His work is held in the collections of the Belvedere, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Städel.
Life and work[edit]
Sasse attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1982 to 1988, where he studied under Bernd Becher.[5][6] Since 1994 his work has involved digitally manipulating found images—primarily land- and cityscapes. "He developed a process of scanning images into his computer, changing them, and then making film negatives of these manipulated images, from which the final prints are made."[5]
