I like working with things we think we already know. Pop-cultural phenomena, familiar images, shared references. My work is an invitation to play with perception and notice how meaning begins to shift.

Joachim Bosse (Bucharest, 1983) is a conceptual artist living and working between Berlin and Zurich. His artistic practice builds on a long engagement with public visual culture and systems of communication, including his work as a co-founder of the Berlin-based creative agency DOJO.
 
Working with sculptural, typographic, and cross-media approaches, Bosse explores pop culture as a contemporary material. Drawing from mass media, advertising, and systems of display, his work examines how images, symbols, and narratives circulate and gain cultural and economic value in the digital age. He describes his work as public messaging-art that treats visibility, circulation, and address as its core material.
 
Bosse's work is shown in institutions such as the Deichtorhallen Hamburg and the Ernst Deutsch Theater. His works are held in collections including the Boros Collection and the Yoram Roth Collection, and are discussed in media such as Monopol, brand eins, ARD, Die Zeit, Highsnobiety, and Hypebeast.
