Darius Voehringer

The work of Darius Voehringer is lead by a conceptual poetic approach which manifests itself through intermedial forms: performances, installations, videos, photos, texts, sculptures and public-relations are all products of his work.  

The coding of information and the relations between man, nature and those of quantum mechanics are investigated through personal speculative chains of thought.

“The idea of distancing oneself as a life experiment is reason enough to consider never to return to common senses.” Consequently, Darius Voehringer creates a possibility of parallel understandings, in which everyday functions and schemes be removed from their usual context in order to place them into different perspectives; which results into strange figures of logic.

Darius Voehringer was born in October 1980 in France, La Tronche as the oldest of five children. His Mother, Sabine Eleonora Vöhringer, and his stepfather, Michael Bell, were members of the group called The Family, also known as The Children of God. Together they traveled through diverse countries in Western and Eastern Europe as missionaries. The travels, have not only been an important part of his life experience, but also play a strong initial roll in his artistic development. In 1994 Darius Voehringer disassociated himself from the group, along with his mother and siblings, and moved to Germany. Since 2006 he has been studying fine arts in the University of Kassel in the class of Prof. Urs Lüthi. He has been promoted as a scholarship holder by the foundation Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes since 2008.
