David Koenig

The photographer David Koenig, graduate of New York’s renowned ‘International Center of Photography’ (ICP) and Parsons, uses photography in order to portray the known. His works often move around the intersection of photography and painting. Out of a circumspect perspective, he takes up topics that affects us. And he tackles us with that in his own manner, so that we can choose our own perspective.
