Philipp Geist
Born in Witten in 1976, grew up in Weilheim and moved to Berlin in 1999. As an artist and autodidact, he has gained an international reputation with the mediums video installation, audio/ visual performance, painting and photography. His videos and live video performances have been presented in several national and international festivals (Club Transmediale, Berlin; Sonar, Barcelona; Mutek, Montreal; Dissonanze, Rome) and media art events (Moscow, London, Warsaw and Munich).

His ambitious video presentations have been presented, among others, at the reopening of the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, in 2002; the Palazzo delle Espozioni in Rome in 2007; the Berlin Kulturforum in 2008; in group exhibitions such as Times and Places at the Neues Kunsthaus Ahrenshoop and Transcities in Bucharest, both in 2008. He recently presented a solo exhibition, Lighting Times, at the Weilheimer Stadtmuseum.

Philipp Geist’s projects and works are characterized by their complexity and the integration of the location, the sound and moving images.
