Philipp Kremer (1981, GER) lives and works in Berlin, Germany and Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
He studied at the Rijksakademie. His works are the result of an ongoing and rigorous formal exploration. Kremer investigates how an artist, through selectively withdrawing themselves from the decision making process, might create works that are more incontrovertibly human: accidental, tentative, embarrassed and bold.
