* 1976 Hamburg, Germany. German-Taiwanese, raised in Malaysia, lives in London, UK.
Bernd Behr studied at Goldsmiths College, London. Working across video, photography, sculpture, and writing, his practice operates a speculative archaeology at the historical junctures of images, narratives, and the built environment. Often engaging with specific architectural sites and their associative histories, his work inserts itself into these subjects through modes of research and fiction.
