CV

Moritz Jekat

Moritz Jekat studied Visual Communication in Potsdam and finalized his BA with distinction in 2018. He lives and works as a visual artist in between Berlin and Lausanne and is currently participating in the Master program of Photography at ECAL in Renens in Switzerland.

His personal and artistic work focuses on the western and specificly German society and it's contemporary developments regarding identity and the digital spheres. For this he investigates the topics of Co-existance, Co-habiting and the coming together of different ideas of living in one place. In his research he usually starts looking into his very personal and close environment and then orientates his view towards the outside and looks for universal validities in it.

Computer generated Imagery, the use of AI as well as sculpture and installation take an important part in his work.
