He is a photographer. A storyteller. A curator. An editor. His multi-disciplinary projects have been turned into films, chronicles, virtual platforms and books. A large part of his work deals with photographic archives that he collects and contextualises in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Myanmar.  

"Every story has another way of being told". He has made films, books, online platforms and exhibitions in Europe, the United States and in faraway places in South and West Asia. An important aspect of each form of storytelling is both to establish an alternative form of narrative about historical events, as well as to find a local as well as a global audience that will benefit from the work in the long run. 

Lukas researches his imagery through investigations and explorations very often in areas that have been affected by conflict and have not yet had the chance to present existing material in an artistic form. His narratives address official history by creating alternative plots and fictional elements alongside the commonly accepted facts. 

Over the last few years Lukas Birk has developed particularly interesting publishing projects, both personal works, archival works and collaborations with other artists in publications with other publishers and especially through his publishing house FRAGLICH PUBLISHING. In addition, different publishing houses have published books about his work.

In our bookshop we offer several of these publications for sale.
