Roy Köhnke

Born in 1990 in Levallois-Perret, France

In a practice that encompasses sculpture, drawing, and installation, Roy Köhnke combines advanced technologies with traditional craft techniques to explore the limits of the body and reconnect it with its environment. Using technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and emotional artificial intelligence, he explores alternatives to the dominant science fiction narratives. His work forms part of a reflection on social and ecological justice, with a particular focus on trans bodies and the co-evolution of technology and ecology.

Born in 1990 in Levallois-Perret (France), Roy Köhnke graduated from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris (2016). He lives and works in Paris (France).
