Joined / Mexico City

Jens Kull was born in Basel, Switzerland in 1975. After studies of ethnology and philosophy he left his hometown at the age of 22 to live in Mexico City where he studied photography and developed a particular way of observing urban space and people.

With sequenced photography, video compositing and video installation, Jens Kull plays with new and well-established technologies aiming at disclosing different angles of realities and possibilities, shifted in time and space.

Gabriel Santamarinas words: "The spark of man’s fleeting existence, sleeping on his electric bed, is displayed in Jens Kull’s objects for cosmic self exploration." (>>read more on jenskull.com/jenskull/en/works/2009/electric-slumber.html )

Private and public contemporary art collections such as Colección FEMSA and the Jumex collection in Mexico have purchased his works.

In 2004 he received the INTERNATIONALER/MEDIEN /KUNST/PREIS in Karlsruhe and his work was purchased by the Monterrey Biennale FEMSA in 2007.

His works have been exhibited in Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, France, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Russia, Chile, Brazil, USA and Mexico.

Currently he is one of few contemporary artists of Mexico's oldest gallery, the "Galeria de Arte Mexicano - GAM", founded by Ines Amor and Diego Rivera in 1936, opening paths to new media and video.
