Tobias Zielony

Tobias Zielony's critical aproach to social documentarism makes him one of the most discussed artists in contemporary German photography. In his accurately observed portraits, he deals with the "casual forms of the social scene", and the way young people stage and present themselves in public space. TONIGHT, a show with a complete survey of his filmic work will open at KOW Gallery in Berlin. Recently, Tobias Zielony, together with Hito Steyerl, Olaf Nicolai, and the artist duo Jasmina Metwaly and Philip Rizk, was announced to exhibit in the German Pavilion at the 56th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia.

Tobias Zielony will direct a two-week course from 3 to 15 August 2015.
