Benjamin Thiele

born in Munich in 1991, is an artist living in Linz and Vienna who works with found and everyday objects. His works emerge as visual hypotheses, temporary arrangements that shift the perspective on the self-evident and question familiar perceptions. With playful precision, Thiele combines sculpture, installation, and spatial intervention, through which banal materials open up new spaces of meaning. In addition to his artistic practice, he also initiates curatorial formats in which exchange, process, and transience play central roles.
