Florian Thate lives and works in Freiburg in Breisgau, Germany.

At the center of Florian Thate's (he/him) artistic practice is walking — as a method of approach, exploration and direct experience of landscape, materiality and space. In performative processes, Thate collects and examines industrial and natural materials — using physical, often physically challenging methods. These actions give rise to hybrid forms between image and object that are never purely documentary, but rather an expanded understanding of sculptural formations.
