Known as one of the greatest figures in German photography, Gottfried Jäger (b. 1937, Burg near Magdeburg) is an experimental artist who, over the years, redefined the term "photography". In breaking the boundaries of what the camera can accomplish, Jäger reexamines the objectivity of the photographic process. In 1968, during the move-ment of Concrete Art, Jäger developed the concept and theory of Generative Photography. In his words, it consists of "finding a new world inside the camera and trying to bring it out with methodical and analytical methods."

Jäger’s generative color work derives from the color spectrum and the refraction of white light. Whether analog or digital, the work is not a representation of color but a reflection of it. In his "color space," Jäger creates paths, crossing from experimentation to programming, from abstraction to concretion, and from analog to computed color photo-graphs. Over the long course of his career, through his use of multiple lenses combined with algorithms and computer programs, Gottfried Jäger has developed a new aesthetic.
