Timm Ulrichs

Timm Ulrichs (b. 1940) is a German conceptual artist based in Hanover and Münster, one of the central figures in German Fluxus and concept art since the early 1960s. His practice has always foregrounded language, tautology, and self-reference — works that point to themselves, frame the artist's own body, or make visible the apparatus of art production.

Ulrichs describes himself as the "first living work of art" — a position he has maintained consistently, making his own body, name, and biography central to the work. He has produced artist books, editions, text-based works, actions, and installations that circulate internationally, often through small presses and mail art networks.
