Uli Westphal
1980, Bochum, Germany
works and lives in Berlin, Germany
My works observe how humans perceive, depict and transform the natural world. I am especially interested in how misconceptions and ideologies shape our view of nature. In recent years I have focused on the portrayal and transformation of nature through the food industries. My work is multidisciplinary and research based, frequently consisting out of collections, classification systems, simulations and experimental set-ups.
