Born 1964 in Naumburg / Saale, Germany
Lives and works in Berlin and Offenbach, Germany.
Martin Liebscher studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt and the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and he has since 2007 been Professor of Photography at the Offenbach University of Art and Design. His works are present in several private and public collections, including Deutsche Bank, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, City of Tampere, Finland, Deutsche Börse and Kunsthalle Bremen, among others.
Liebscher produces his large-scale works by processing digital photographs, which he has taken on himself with the help of an assistant. The characters are therefore not digitally manipulated, but real images of a real person in action, and his impressive photographic works are often based on thousands of individual photographs. In his Family Pictures Liebscher always works on the basis of a specific architecture or social environment.
