Nina Könnemann

Nina Könnemann (born 1971 in Bonn, Germany) is a contemporary video artist. In her work, Könnemann explores how people behave in public spaces, focusing on marginal areas, everyday behaviour, and subcultural dynamics. With precision and astute observation, she documents movements shaped by latent social conventions. Her camera often captures the transitional zones of public events: spaces on the periphery of festivals, demonstrations, sports events, and the traces people leave behind at such mass gatherings. Könnemann condenses these seemingly insignificant moments into filmic reflections on unnoticed social mechanisms, creating portraits of contemporary life through unofficial narratives.
