CV Niklas Goldbach Niklas Goldbach, born 1973 in Witten, Germany, lives and works in Berlin. After studying Sociology at Bielefeld University and “Photography and Video” at the Unversity of Applied Sciences Bielefeld, he was awarded with the “Meisterschüler” degree at the University of the Arts Berlin in 2006. In 2005 he received the Fulbright Grant New York and majored in the MFA program of Hunter College, New York City. In his videos, photographies and installations Goldbach is involved in the relation between architecture and necropolitics in their modernist traditions and postmodern manifestations. Established between reality and fiction, Goldbach’ dissects architectural elements that serve both as backdrops and catalysts of (neo)liberal and (neo)colonial subject construction to create ambiguous perceptions of man-made environments through the lens of a globally expanding interconnectivity of these sites. In his earlier film works, his often duplicated protagonists have colonized epic stages of modern architectural complexes, postmodern urban environments or alleged paradises defying civilisation, all finding their commonality as places oscillating between utopia and dystopia. Niklas Goldbach received several scholarships (among others Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn 2010, Arbeitsstipendium Bildende Kunst des Berliner Senats 2013, Projektförderung des Berliner Senats 2014, Dresdener Stipendium für Fotografie 2016, Villa Aurora Los Angeles 2017, Recherchstipendium des Berliner Senats 2021) and presented his works in numerous solo shows, group exhibitions, and festivals in venues such as the Berlinale, International Short Film Festival Oberhausen , Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Galerie im Taxispalais Innsbruck, Museo Reina Sofia Madrid, Mori-Art Museum Tokyo, Shanghai 21st Century Minsheng Art Museum, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Cornerhouse Manchester, Barbican Arts Center London, S.M.A.K.
