About the artist
Born 1998 in Innsbruck, Austria, Ụzọchukwu grows up in Luxembourg and Belgium. Delving into photographic self portraiture as teenager, he develops a digital practice that leads to collaborations with artists like FKA twigs and Iris van Herpen and a commission by the World Wildlife Fund.
His photography has been exhibited in group shows at Bozar (BE), V&A Museum and Saatchi Gallery (UK), Bamako Encounters — African Biennale of Photography (ML), Triennial of Photography Hamburg (DE), and MOCA Toronto (CA), among others, while his short films and video installations have been screened at Max Ophüls Preis (DE) and Copenhagen Documentary Film Festival (DK). In 2021, he was nominated for Prix Pictet for In The Wake, a body of work drawing parallels between Black bodies and ravaged nature.
Most recently, he directed episodes for German drama-comedy show Schwarze Früchte (ARD), was named as one of Forbes 30 Under 30 in Europe, and saw his solo show New Suns, curated by Ekow Eshun, open at Galerie Gomis (FR).
Ụzọchukwu lives in Berlin.
