As part of the 2nd annual Berlin Photo Week, ICONOCLAST & MONOM developed a new form of art exhibition to present at Funkhaus.
David Uzochukwu is a Berlin-based photographer with a focus on portrait photography. In his digital practice, vulnerability and the subtly surreal come together to form an intimate haven. Often merging and extending subjects with nature, the question of belonging is central in his work.
In 2014 he won the EyeEm Award, which marked the beginning of his career. Now he will return to Berlin Photo Week with a hypnotic experience in which his visuals are re-enacted by an immersive soundscape.
David Uzochukwu’s imagery will be narrated through an interactive sound installation created by MONOM's Creative Director and sound designer, William Russell. David's photography becomes a physical experience, provoking a new way of feeling the work of a visual artist. The 4DSOUND system cultivates a social listening space in which the visitor interacts with sound and space, moving freely to explore an environment without limits.
This event is open to the public and free of charge.

DAVID UZOCHUKWU
Growing up in Austria, Luxembourg, and Belgium, he delved into self-portraiture early on.
Uzochukwu developed a digital practice, focussing on being othered, vulnerability, and the slightly surreal.
Often, his subjects are reflected in - or merge with - the nature that surrounds them. Lone introspection and devotion to something larger than themselves exist simultaneously.
He has collaborated with artists like Little Dragons, FKA twigs and Pharrell, been commissioned by Nike, Dior, and Hermès, and has exhibited at Bozar, Photo Vogue Festival, and Lagos Photo Festival.
He is working towards his first degree in Philosophy at HU Berlin.
