Opinions and texts about Bieniek:
SEBASTIAN BIENIEK IS A MASTER OF SUBTERFUGE AND OF SUBVERSIVE HUMOUR. THE PHOTO ARTIST, PERFORMER AND FILM-MAKER QUESTIONS OUR ACCEPTED VISIONS BY DEFRAGMENTING REALITY, WARPING REALITY AND LEADING IT INTO A NEW AND UNEXPECTED CONTEXT. HE JOINS WHAT DOESN’T BELONG TOGETHER AND CREATES A PERPLEXING WHOLE.

If you are looking for a flamboyant, subversive and ironic, artist, the German Sebastian Bienienk is ideal.
Always with a discursive stance, this multifaceted man offers different types of work...
Known for his clever performances, art antics and artworks full of irony and vocalized splendor, I was anxious about meeting Berlin-based artist and film director Sebastian Bieniek, lest I should encounter a closed-off and overly sarcastic character...

Sebastian Bieniek is a figure moulding to his time. Not only he does that but also has the sensitivity to criticise and point out what’s wrong with us as a civilization. Bieniek seems to renew the image of the outcast Artist who puts ill at ease and gets into everybody’s skin. He’s not of the taste of everyone but surely his work and him don’t let anybody indifferent. Bieniek truly denounces everything that’s wrong without taking care of the result. That’s why I permit myself to call him the last man standing in a sea full of cowards.
