Boaz Kaizman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaizman studied in Tel Aviv and later moved to Germany. He has been living and working in Cologne since 1993.[2][1]
In 2018, the film Tigersprung by Kaizman, Peter Rosenthal and Marcus Seibert premiered. In the style of a graphic novel documentary film, it reenacts the visits of the Jewish cycling manager Ernst Berliner in Cologne. The actor Jörg Ratjen gave Berliner a voice.[3] Berliner's great-grandson, Sam Alter, was involved in the preparations for the film and came to Cologne from the US for this purpose.[3] In October 2018 the film was awarded the Golden Crank of the International Cycling Film Festival in Herne.[4]
From 3 September 2021 to 16 January 2022, Kaizman's video installation Green Area was shown at the Cologne Museum Ludwig.[2]
