# Michael Ruetz

> Michael Ruetz was a German photographer, artist, journalist and author. He became first known for photos of the West German student movement that were published by international papers and magazines. Ruetz covered the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by Soviet troops and military dictatorship in Greece. He focused later on cultural-historical and documentary projects, exploring the "visual world" of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Theodor Fontane in series such as In Goethe's Footsteps. Projects after the 1980s deal with visualizing time and transience, photographing the same objects again and again over a long time.
