Ruth Hallensleben
Cologne (Germany), 01.07.1898 - Cologne (Germany), 28.04.1977

Tra il 1931 e il 1934 trova impiego come praticante presso Elsbeth Gropp, famosa fotografa ritrattista e paesaggista. Nel 1934 apre il suo studio. Dopo una iniziale formazione di ritrattista, si dedica alla fotografia industriale. Il suo lavoro, oltre che visione poetica e prova tecnica, è una testimonianza del periodo storico in cui ha vissuto, la Germania del XX secolo. Poco spazio è lasciato all’individualismo, in nome di una visione più globale. Nel 1945, nel timore che gli alleati confischino la sua attrezzatura fotografica e l’archivio, seppellisce in tre casse tutto il materiale nel bosco di Wiehl. Dopo tre anni, due delle tre casse sotterrate sono intatte e lei può ricominciare la sua attività di fotografa.
