Marc Brandenburg

Biography

Born in Berlin, Germany, Marc Brandenburg has established a career defined by his meticulous approach to drawing. He gained recognition for his unique technique of rendering images as if they were photographic negatives, a process that transforms everyday scenes into stark, high-contrast compositions.

His practice primarily utilizes graphite on paper to create small-format, photo-based works that capture fleeting moments of contemporary life. Beyond his drawing practice, Brandenburg also incorporates video installations into his exhibitions, often focusing on the documentation of social environments and urban debris.

Recent recognition includes a major retrospective at the Berlinische Galerie titled 20th Century Debris. This exhibition highlighted his sustained output since the 1990s, showcasing his ability to curate thematic groupings that reflect the shifting cultural landscape of his home city.
