Jannis Uffrecht (*1991) is is a German artist and visual communication student at Bauhaus Universität Weimar, Germany. In summer 2017 he was granted an exchange to study multimedia art and sculpture at Belas-Artes in Lisbon, Portugal. In 2018 he was selected for the artist residency Studio Vortex by Antoine d'Agata in Arles, France. Currently, he is photographing for Bauhaus 100, the centenary programme of the Bauhaus and its legacy from past to present.
»Experience gives way to understanding. The desire to get to the essence of things leads him to elevate objects, surfaces and content to a level free of context, to then release them into new dialogs of interpretation. Impulsiveness is both a contradiction and instrument of his structured, almost manic work method.« — Vera Heinemann
»An dir ist echt ein guter Fotograf verloren gegangen.« — Florian Schmidt
