About
Sven Windszus was born in Northern Germany in 1974. He studied graphic design in Hildesheim at the University of Applied Science and Art. Since 2003 he has lived in Berlin, where he works as a multimedia artist. His works focus on the interaction of digital processes and the analysis of reality and consciousness. Sven wants to uncover the contradictions in the reality of his life and question his habits. Many of his works are interactive installations that invite the viewer to actively participate. Through this type of discussion, existing perspectives and ideas are correlated with the content of his work.
Sven's work has been exhibited in Greece, Italy, Sweden and Great Britain. In 2020 Sven won the “YICCA international contest of contemporary art” 2nd prize and in 2021 the “BBA Artist Prize”. In 2022 he showed his first solo exhibition at BBA Gallery in Berlin. In 2023 he won the “Honorary Mention” award at the Prix Ars Electronica and the award for best video installation at the London Art Biennale.
