FLORIAN BÖHM, born in 1969, is a photographer who works and lives in Munich. With a particular interest in unintentional forms and accidental expressions, his conceptual (photographic) observations examine the modern perception of everyday life. His work was exhibited and published worldwide: Haus der Kunst, Munich; Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, Paris; Kunstwerke, Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, and Fondazione Adriano Olivetti, Rom.

In one of his new photographic series WAIT FOR WALK, Florian Böhm expands the typology of the urban area with an anthropological look at New Yorkers waiting at traffic lights. He is co-founder of the project EndCommercial® / Reading the City, a visual record of modern urban life widely acclaimed in journals and papers such as the New York Times, Domus, Art Forum, and Kunstforum International. The project contains over 60.000 images, and established a new visual vocabulary to describe our urban experience. Since 2014 Florian Böhm works with Annahita Kamali as creative director of the design magazine DISEGNO.
