Christian Meyer is a Berlin-based artist working across photography, moving image, dream-based conceptual projects and music.

His work explores the space between reality and perception, with a particular interest in what lies beneath the visible: absence, memory and the unconscious.

Meyer studied humanities at the Free University of Berlin, where his research into psychoanalysis and early childhood nightmares became an important foundation for his artistic practice.

His photographic work began with Missing, a series created after the accidental death of his father in 2009. Since then, his work has explored absence, traces and the space between the visible and the invisible.

Working with photography, moving image, sound and digital processes, Meyer creates reduced visual worlds in which familiar places and situations become subtly displaced. His work moves between observation and dream, documentary reality and inner experience.

Christian Meyer has worked internationally for more than 30 years as a composer and musician for film, television, dance theatre and theatre.

His ongoing project The Dream Diaries brings these different strands together, using dreams as source material for images, texts, sound and moving image — an exploration of the unstable boundary between conscious and unconscious experience.
