Bernd Behr


Bernd Behr is a Taiwanese artist based in London.
Born in Hamburg and raised in Malaysia, Behr studied at San José State University, California and Goldsmiths, University of London, London.
Behr was shortlisted for the 2003 Beck's Futures prize at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London. His work can be seen as a cultural archaeology of sites and events which share confluent histories of art, cinema and the built environment. He works across video, photography and sculpture to explore a dialogue between documentary and constructed approaches to his subjects and the associative, sometimes fictional, histories that emerge from them.
Behr currently teaches on the BA Photography course at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London.
