Charly Nijensohn (1966), born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a self-taught photographer and video artist. In his works he points out and captures the tensions of the human existence in its environmental surroundings. Therefore he chooses desolate and remote landscapes as a poetical mis-en-scene for his photos and videos. In 2006 he was invited by the Uppernavik Museum to realise his project “Beyond the end - The polar project” that he filmed in Greenland. In 2008 he finished his videopiece “The Wreck of Men” that he produced in Bolivia. Nijensohn lives and works in Berlin.
