Michael Ruetz was a prominent German photographer, journalist, author, and academic. He is widely recognized as one of the most active visual chroniclers of postwar Germany, notably capturing the iconic imagery of the 1968 West German student movement (APO). Over his multi-decade career, his creative focus shifted from fast-paced photojournalism to deep philosophical explorations of time, transience, and changing landscapes.
