Simon Schultz

Simon Schultz studied art history and cultural studies at the Universities of Leipzig, Harvard, and Hildesheim, with a focus on queer self-representation in moving images. His artistic-scientific PhD project at art university HFBK Hamburg deals with a case studie of a historic self-liberation of queer people in Hamburg from ongoing police surveillance in 1980. Part of his research is the production of the performative installation "Hammerschlag" at Kampnagel theater in April 2026. He lives and works in Hamburg.
