Jean Molitor is a German photographer and artist, born in East Berlin in 1960. He studied artistic photography at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig (Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst) under Arno Fischer, graduating in 1993. Since then, he has worked internationally as a freelance photographer, initially focusing on reportage photography before increasingly dedicating his practice to long-term artistic projects.
Molitor’s work explores architecture as a cultural document. Through a precise, frontal photographic language, he investigates the global legacy of modernist architecture, revealing formal relationships between buildings across continents. His ongoing project bau1haus, initiated in 2009, documents architecture of the Classical Modern Movement in more than fifty countries, emphasizing the international reach and local adaptations of modernism.
