Andreas Wutz is a freelance artist who has focused on photography, media installation, and fine art cinema. He has been a professor of Audiovisual Art, Artistic Cinema and New Media at the European Institute of Design in Barcelona, and at the University of California in San Diego. Between 1983 and 1986 he studied literature and philosophy at the University of Munich. Later, from 1986 to 1989, he studied painting and photography at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and the Düsseldorf State Academy of Art.

He has participated in various artist residency programs in Rome, Prague and New York. Since 1999 he has worked on short films and videos by artists that have been featured in international art exhibitions at film festivals such as Rotterdam, Bilbao and Honk Kong. In addition, he has exhibited at international institutions such as La Virreina - Center de la Imatge in Barcelona, Haus der Kunst Munich, Fundación Cristina Enea in Donostia-San Sebastián or Kunstverein Salzburg. His films have been presented at international film festivals such as Rotterdam, Utrecht, Bilbao, Hongkong, Karachi, Nairobi or Harare, or through screenings at Kino Arsenal Berlin, Filmmuseum Munich, Cine Zumzeig Barcelona or Lux London.

In 2000 he founded the film program Kino der Piloten (Pilots' Cinema) which specializes in presenting early avant-garde or scientific films alongside contemporary short films in Berlin, Munich, Prague, Cuzhaven and Hoorn.

He has collaborated with institutions such as the National Film Archive in Prague, the Munich Film Museum, the Cristina Enea Foundation in San Sebastián, the CCCB, La Virreina and the Antoni Tàpies Foundation in Barcelona. For the German National Broadcasting Institution ARD he collaborated in the production of various educational articles and radio works. His critiques, essays and interviews have been published by Senses of Cinema, Texte zur Kunst, La Vanguardia or in catalogs such as Photography after Photography or Light is a Kind of Rhythm.

Wutz's work has been published in catalogs such as Punctum - Reflections on Photography (Salzburger Kunstverein), Light Is a Kind of Rhythm (merz & solitude, Stuttgart) or Andreas Wutz - Le Mans (Cuxhavener Kunstverein). His critical writings have been published by Senses of Cinema, Texte zur Kunst, La Vanguardia or in catalogs such as Photography after Photography (Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia).

His research focuses on the media history of urban and natural landscapes, and investigates the socio-political and historical relevance of everyday situations. Based on phenomenological reflections of sounds and images, his concepts are driven by the attempt to relate the conceptualization of his work with historical and contemporary time. By understanding his objects of study and their environment not only through the media, but also within them, his films, photographs, and media installations explore their inherent content, language, history, and performative presence in a self-reflective way.
