Paul Hutchinson
Born in 1987 in Berlin, Germany
Lives and works in Berlin
In his multifaceted artistic practice, Paul Hutchinson critically examines the unfolding of social processes in urban space. By exploring the artist’s immediate surroundings or focusing on details—whether seemingly banal or deeply personal—Hutchinson translates his inner world into carefully composed photographic images. Through a range of additional artistic activities, from performative readings to sound installations to moving images, he conveys a unique characterization of contemporary life. While his photographs oscillate between documentary and poetic expression, his writing helps to articulate concerns about an increasingly polarized society.
Paul Hutchinson (born in Berlin in 1987, lives and works in Berlin) studied at the University of the Arts Berlin and at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. His work has recently been featured in solo exhibitions at the German Institute of Photography, Düsseldorf, DE; Kunst-Station, Hauptbahnhof Wolfsburg, DE; Kunstverein Ulm, DE; and Kunstraum Kunze, Gifhorn, DE. His work has also been recently exhibited in group shows at Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, DE; Haus Kunst Mitte, Berlin, DE; Kunstverein + Kunsthalle, Marburg, DE; Kunstraum Potsdam, Potsdam, DE; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, DE; and others.
