Armin Linke (1966, Milan) is an artist working with photography and film by setting up processes that question the medium, its technologies, narrative structures, and complicities within wider socio-political structures. His exhibiting practice sets up performative scripts in which different voices and methods come together. In a collective approach with other creatives, researchers and scientists, the narratives of his works expand on the level of multiple discourses, centring the questions of installation and display. Linke’s work has been exhibited worldwide. He is currently a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich (AdBK) and a guest professor at ISIA Urbino.
