Britta Thie (b. 1987 in Minden, Germany, lives and works in Berlin, Germany) studied at Kunstakademie Münster and the Cooper Union of Science and Art New York and graduated from the Universität der Künste Berlin. Thie is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the complex terrain of contemporary visual culture. Her acclaimed video and multimedia works examine the creation and consumption of highly stylized imagery. Conversely, her photo-realistic paintings contemplate the critical yet often unseen internal structure of moving image production in popular entertainment.
