Aura Rosenberg was born in New York City in 1949. Her work follows the trajectory of her life and grows out of lived experience. She has examined themes of sexuality, childhood, motherhood, work/play, family history, and world history. She has worked in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and the book. Rosenberg also plays keyboards with her bands Cornichons and Dirty Mirrors in NYC and Berlin. Her publications include Head Shots (Stop Over Press, 1996), Berliner Kindheit (Steidl, 2002), and Who Am I? What Am I, Where Am I? (Hatje Cantz VerlagIn, 2008). In 2002, She was awarded the DAAD grant to produce her photo series Berliner Kindheit (co-published with Steidl Verlag). In 2016, to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Head Shots all sixty-one photos in the book were shown at JOAN, a project space in Los Angeles. A retrospective of her work will open at Galeria Studio, Warsaw in April 2017. This spring, she will have a solo exhibition with Martos Gallery at Frieze, NY.
