David Uzochukwu is an Austrian-Nigerian photographer. In his teenage years, he delved into self portraiture. He pursues fantastical and raw visuals, speaking on resilience and belonging: digitally reconfigured landscapes become a refuge for stripped down bodies seeming both strong and vulnerable. Uzochukwu has exhibited at Bozar (BE), Lagos Photo Festival (NG), Off Biennale Dakar (SN), Photo Vogue Festival (IT), and Unseen Amsterdam (NL). He currently studies philosophy in Berlin.”
