Judith Milz

Judith Milz Judith Milz (*1989) lives and works in Marseille and Karlsruhe. She studied at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig.

In her work, Judith Milz explores and develops narrative possibilities: sculptural, performative, photographic, journalistic. She is drawn to the incidental and mundane, the situational and anecdotal. As a result, her work always sways between that which is routine, private, personally remembered and told, and what is socio-politically important. When the artist approaches and processes themes for her practice, the image of a catalytic converter or flow heater might lend itself as an obvious metaphor. These pieces often include performative qualities.

Most recently Judith Milz has become increasingly involved in private and public archives. Her involvement in a place of artistic research significantly influences her work, which are often developed in a site- and context-specific way.

In 2019 she began focusing on creating an artistic language for Inter-German history; an ongoing project based on her ten years of working as a transcriber.

Judith Milz has already received several scholarships. In 2020 she was awarded a scholarship from the Kunststiftung Baden-Württemberg, and as of November 2022 she will be on scholarship at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris.
