Wolf Helzle Medienkunst: Performance


	The media artist Wolf Helzle, born in Göppingen in southern Germany in 1950, studied painting at the Freie Kunsthochschule in Stuttgart and under Professor Harry Kramer at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Kassel. Beginning in 1996 he again devoted himself full-time to art and set about creating works by means of computer, video, and photography. In 1998 he taught art and media in the art department of the Freie Hochschule in Metzingen, and in 2000 he lectured on media art at the Fachhochschule für Gestaltung in Schwäbisch Hall. In 2006 he was artist-in-residence at the Künstlerhaus Stuttgart and lectured on video art at the Hochschule der Medien, Stuttgart. One of the essential questions Wolf Helzle is concerned with is “What is the relationship between the individual and humankind?” He poses this question in his performances, photographs, videos, and installations, into which he integrates people from throughout the world. He collaborates with musicians from different genres and experiments with other kinds of art. The integration of the audience into his art plays a major role in his work.
