Tim Berresheim

TIM BERRESHEIM | Paris Photo Digital Sector

Tim Berresheim (*1975) is a pioneering figure in computer-based art, seamlessly blending art history, technology, science, and nature. He views the computer as a transformative tool, akin to the hand axe that once liberated humanity from caves. Focusing on the essence of images in the digital age, Berresheim explores the creative potential within contemporary visual culture. His work analyzes the often-overlooked elements that shape our humanity in a rapidly changing world. By harnessing advanced digital technologies, he meticulously crafts artworks that reflect our present. Distancing himself from dominant narratives of AI and social media, Berresheim defines the computer purely as a tool. His creations bridge the analogue and digital realms, questioning the boundaries of evolution. Recently, he has drawn inspiration from old masters like Pierre Bonnard, reimagining their colors and textures into innovative digital compositions. Berresheim's art invites viewers to navigate new processes, expanding language and acknowledging personal interpretations. His works represent a reimagined world that organizes chaos into narratives of human existence. Tim Berresheim studied at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and HBK Braunschweig. He is represented in numerous national and international collections and institutions. In 2024, the NRW Forum Düsseldorf presented the comprehensive retrospective “Neue Alte Welt”.

TIM BERRESHEIM | Kunsthalle Bielefeld & Museum Marta Herford

Zwischen Pixel und Pigment - Hybride Malerei in postdigitalen Zeiten,

The exhibition, developed jointly by the Museum Marta Herford and the Kunsthalle Bielefeld and taking place simultaneously at both venues, is dedicated to post-digital hybrid painting and thus reflects our hybrid post-digital present, anchored between the digital and the analog. In this large-scale collaboration, the focus is on a painterly way of thinking that has expanded considerably, especially in the last ten years, through the equal interweaving of content and technology of the hybrid. The international artists fundamentally question the traditional medium of painting. To what extent do the changes influence materialities, image-media structures and aesthetics? How do hybrid spaces, bodies that have become fluid and a feeling of being in-between find pictorial correspondences? With the Kunstakademie Münster as the third project partner, museum practice, academic teaching and research are combined in an experimental way.

Back to where we have started from, curated by Barbara Hofmann-Johnson, June 28 - August 18, 2024, Museum für Photografie Braunschweig

As part of the 40th anniversary of the Museum für Photographie Braunschweig, the exhibition Back to where we have started from aims to highlight the special significance of the Braunschweig University of Art for contemporary artistic photography in the international art scene. The exhibition focuses on photography and video art by artists whose careers are linked to the HBK Braunschweig, who studied, taught and still teach at the renowned university or are involved in a special exchange with each other within the city of Braunschweig. Within the debate on artistic photography and its various current and historical visual languages, media translations, social references and installation-based staging possibilities, the Museum für Photographie Braunschweig has always presented young positions alongside solo exhibitions and thematic group exhibitions. There has always been a special collaboration with the Braunschweig University of Art.
