Sven Gutjahr is a multi-disciplinary artist whose creative practice spans photography, film and installation. 


From performing arts and documentary angles to narrative fiction, Sven’s conceptual approach challenges boundaries and embraces the aesthetics of control and desire.


With a highly sensitive eye, he captures the human body and the world around him in different stages of growth, deconstruction, and transformation.
