Robert Harding Pittman

Christoph Felder


Robert Harding Pittman is a German-American filmmaker and photographer and former environmental engineer from Hamburg and Boston. After taking his undergraduate and graduate degrees in environmental engineering (U.C. Berkeley), an area of concern that continues to inform his work, he received an M.F.A. in Film/Video and Photography at the California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts). His award winning documentary films and photographs are about the environment and landscape and their connection to culture. His first film was about Heuersdorf, Germany, a 750 year old village which has since been demolished for the expansion of an open-pit coal mine for four years of electricity. This is the basis for “From under our feet”. His photography book and travelling exhibition ANONYMIZATION, nominated for the Prix Pictet, is about the global proliferation of urban sprawl. The work is being exhibited internationally and has received wide media coverage.
