Georg Worecki (born July 28th, 1961 in Düsseldorf) is a German director & photographer of Polish-Italian descent.

 

After graduating from high school, Georg Worecki worked with the actors Eddi Arent, Klaus Havenstein, Willy Millowitsch and Alexander Golling as a technician at the Rheinisches Landestheater Neuss in 1981. According to studying German, art and building history at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and the RWTH Aachen University, he completed an apprenticeship as a director & was engaged inter alia together with Hermann Florin, Etty Resnik & Klaus Hoser. In 1994 he finished his play „Seventh Solitude“.

 

Since 1999 Georg Worecki has also been working as a freelance photographer. In 2004 he took over the directing of the experimental short film „Future Light - Lounge Proposal“ about an installation by visual and sound artist Brian Eno. Between 2004 and 2008 Worecki staged black and white pictures with various theatre professionals in the Rhineland. He had his first US solo exhibition in 2010 in Richmond, VA. From 2012 to 2017 he lived and worked in Luxembourg. One focus of his photographic work is neorealistic street photography. Besides his own, Worecki is involved in Book Publications with Francesco Cito, Susan Meiselas, Nino Migliori and Jérôme Sessini. His photographs have been featured in exhibitions alongside work by Paul Kessel, Gil Rigoulet & Marleen Sleeuwits. They are part of public and privat collections in Europe & the United States.

 

"To trace the immediacy of strangeness, the spell of otherness, to visualize the unexpected, is an act of deliverance from the noise of the daily grind. Essentially I make the attempt to project the secret of life onto a screen."
