About the Artist
Christian Jankowski is a distinguished German artist celebrated for his innovative conceptual practice that often engages directly with mass media, popular culture, and public participation. His work frequently involves elaborate collaborations with individuals outside the art world—such as television psychics, professional athletes, or religious leaders—to create performances, videos, and installations that playfully challenge notions of authorship, authenticity, and the construction of reality. Jankowski's art is characterized by its sharp wit and ability to expose the underlying mechanisms of media production and societal roles, inviting viewers to question the boundaries between the staged and the genuine, and between art and everyday life.
