Benedikt Partenheimer

Benedikt Partenheimer

Benedikt Partenheimer pursues a philosophy of awareness through mediums such as photography or video. His works often deal with aspects of perception, visibility and invisibility, and they extend beyond their own subjective limits. The poetic representation of serious and important issues related to the effects of excessive global economic growth, challenge the inherited binomials of modernity – such as development/civilisation/wellness versus underdevelopment/lack of education/poverty. The artistic depiction of these serious and important topics is meditative and disturbingly beautiful, and manages to involve the viewer into a moment of contemplation.

He studied photography at the RMIT University, Melbourne, and Parsons School of Design, New York. His work has been shown and awarded internationally.
