Bio:

Viktor Hübner’s artistic practice unites a deep natural curiosity for other human beings and their fate. He explores themes of community, ideology, class, and socio-political tensions using photography, audio-interviews, and written accounts. His motivation to witness and record is simple: he believes in the importance of documenting the present narrative. Our history gives us a perspective of time; it allows us to understand who we are and where we are going. It lends awareness to the complexity of society, culture, citizenship, and issues. Hübner received a bachelor of arts in visual communication at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz in 2016, and a master of fine arts in photography at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2019. Combining his passion of history and the arts, he records small layers of contemporary history through his words and lens, becoming a chronicler of our time. Hübner is the recipient of a Rosanne Somerson Scholarship, a RISD Fellowship, and a Fulbright Scholarship, among other awards.
