born in 1959 in Germany, he studied Fine Arts in Hamburg under Claus Böhmler, Henning Christiansen, Sigmar
Polke a.o. Since 1990: exhibitions of sound installations and projects in relation to specific locations. In his works
he focuses on the synaesthetic perception.
His topic is creating innovative forms of aleatoric processes in interaction with the onlooker, based on subjects
of everyday life. He lives in Sweden and Germany.
"The sound objects, which he has devolved, are witnessing the artists a personal vision of the relation between
sound and pictures in a way of pointing out the effect of human perception. Each visual and auditive element constituting
his installations associates to a wide field of interpretations. According to that a chain reaction of different associations
follows, which creates the subjective value of the work. Throughout the use of various materials (ventilation vans, deckchairs,
lamps, walkmen etc.) Tilman Küntzel creates site-specific installations in which the visual and auditive impressions
melt together.
Enclose his activities as visual artist Tilman Küntzel is also composing. These pieces of music are available
on MC and CD. The works of Küntzel has been presented in the Gallery Wschodnia (Lodz 1991), the state Museum of
Baden-Baden town (1992)" and Goethe-Institut New Dehli, India (1997, see chronological list below)
