Lukas Einsele
born 1963 in Essen, Germany, lives and works in Darmstadt and Mannheim.
He studied German and Theatre at the Free University of Berlin from
1982 to 1985, and then studied photography at the College of Higher
Education in Darmstadt from 1985 to 1991. Einsele primarily works with
photography, video, and text. A central aspect of his work is treating
memory as an action. Memory is a process that generates images, one in
which human beings position themselves in relation to their
environment. Lukas Einsele’s work has included a period as
artist-in-residence at the Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart, in
1997. His recent project, One Step Beyond – The Mine Revisited – has
been exhibited at Witte de With Center of Contemporary Art in Rotterdam.
