Urs Lüthi
Biography
1947 Born in Kriens (Luzern), Switzerland
Lives and works in Munich, Germany
Urs Lüthi is a Swiss conceptual artist internationally recognized for a highly distinctive practice that has explored identity, self-representation, and the human condition through a continuous interrogation of his own image since the late 1960s. Working across photography, performance, sculpture, and installation, he has consistently challenged conventional notions of gender, individuality, and authenticity. In 2001 he represented Switzerland in the Venice Biennale.
