Stephan Dillemuth is an artist and professor at Akademie der Bildende Künste, München. Dillemuth sees art as a tool for artistic research and critical reflection on the circumstances of contemporary life.  His inquiry into recent changes in the idea of the public sphere takes place against the backdrop of our globalised, localised and fragmented publics. Considering the impact of 'lifestyle' as a new ideology of self-fulfilment and liberation, Stephan Dillemuth has investigated the German Lebensreform movements at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century and other alternative attempts at social renewal, e.g. the history of bohemia. For his contribution to the Bergen Assembly in 2013 Dillemuth has investigated the recent evolution of our societies of control.
