List of products by artist Kai Schäfer

Kai Schäfer lives and works in Dusseldorf (Germany).

At the age of 15, he bought his first camera: the beginning of a great passion.
Kai Schäfer has been concentrating on his first big photo-art-project “worldrecords” since 2011. For this photo series, including about 70 pictures up to now, he takes pictures of the great albums of music history, as for example The Clash, Pink Floyd and Kraftwerk, in an oversized format on record players that have become legendary too. The result is a tribute to unforgettable analogues worlds of sound.

" BESIDES PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY, MY FOCUS ALWAYS HAS BEEN ON MUSIC. THIS PHOTO SERIES IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO SHARE WITH ME THE PLEASURE OF REMEMBERING A GREAT SONG, A PARTICULAR ALBUM AND THAT VERY SPECIAL PERSONAL MOMENT INVOLVED. "

Kai Schäfer developed and patented his own special light for his photographs. This light blurs the borders between photography and painting, thus creating a very unique effect...

Each groove, label notice or tone arm component is hyper-accurate, tangible and subtly audible. “This project probably will fascinate me all my life. There are still so many great albums worth to be photographed!”

In December 2011, one of his pictures has been sold at high prize at Christies Germany ....a first great success on the art market...

In 2013 “world records” was already part of an solo exhibition in Los Angeles, the AIPAD art fair in New York, the “Berliner Liste” in Berlin and the “artshow” in Düsseldorf, with a huge success!
