1935 Born in Niemegk (DE)
although dieter appelt works with photography, he regards his photographs as sculptures of time. actually, he also builds objects, to be used in his photographic sessions, that afterwards become independant sculptures, because of their genuine and expressive character. his photography incorporates personal, meditative actions, e.g. his body enduring the laws of gravity in an upside down position as long as possible. appelt also registers structures in nature’s elements, as he discovers their patterns of time in stone, water,or the sky. he is also intrigued by the phenomenon of movement, which does not exist in photography: die schatten erinnern an nichts (the shadows remind of nothing), the title of a work obtained by thousand times exposure of a slow film with the help of a stroboscopic flash device. appelt is a master of philosophy, a master of photographic techniques, a master of the arts.
1954 - 1958 Studies music at the Mendelssohn Bartholdy Akademie, Leipzig. Develops strong interest in the composition of Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Weber, Alban Berg, and Leos Janácek. Introduced to Impressionist, Fauve, and Russian Constructivist art.
1959 - 1960 Leaves East Germany and settles in West Berlin. Renews studies at the Hochschule der Musik (Academy of Music), Berlin. Meets German experimental photographer Heinz Hajek-Halke. In addition to music classes, studies experimental photography and art at the Hochschule für bildende Künste (Academy of Fine Arts), Berlin, under Hajek-Halke’s supervision.
