Konstantin Pütz (he/him|*2001) is an artist from NRW Germany. He grew up in the Ruhrgebiet, still working and living there. His work ranges from moving image & performance to installations and written word. They tackle topics of magic, folklore, romance and the emotional and literal landscapes surrounding us. Collaboration is a central part to his practice and working solo is rather an exception for him. He always seeks to extend his circle of colleagues, collaborators and friends and isn't shy of exploring the unknown.
Konstantin is currently inscribed in the B.A. Photography at the Folkwang University of the Arts. He understands his studies as an open space of experimentation. His work isn't reliant on a certain medium.
He likes to DJ (mediocre at best), kayaking and sometimes tries to read a book.
He usually doesn't speak of himself in the third person.
