Florian Koenigsberger

Florian Koenigsberger (b. 1992 New York, NY) is a still photographer and storyteller.

His interest in photography is rooted in a fascination with the photograph as a medium for dignity, self-determination, and aesthetic meditation. He blends his obsession with qualities and textures of light—stoked by the likes of James Turrell—with a desire to explore themes of race, belonging and identity that have shaped his own life. His personal practice is increasingly interested in exploring the nuances of multiracial identities. A child of Jamaican and German immigrants raised in New York City, the question of which ‘places’ and cultures to call home has always been central for him. As the US’ multiracial population continues to grow and the range of reported experiences expands (Multiracial in America, Pew), Florian looks to explore the layers of identity and circumstance that bind—and divide—this group.
