Dipl.-Des. Josefine Köhler
* 1992 in Frankfurt


Hi,
I am a graduate artist and stage designer with a background in both artistic practice and art history, working across installation, film, theatre and performance. I move between concept, technical development and project coordination, often leading projects from idea to realisation. My practice centres on site-specific works in institutional and public spaces, exploring architecture and the visibility of power structures. Feel free to get in touch for a collaboration.
