Philipp Lachenmann

Philipp Lachenmann (born 1963, Germany) studied in Munich Film (University of Film and Television HFF) as well as Art History and Philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University LMU, and Art at the Academy of Media Arts (KHM) Cologne.

In his conceptual art practice Lachenmann is interested in the conditions and mechanisms of collective imagery, and their function concerning confrontations, voids, and fractures in society.
