Sascha Pohle lives and works in Amsterdam and in Seoul. He studied at Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste (Städelschule) in Frankfurt am Main and at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam. He is professor at the Photography Department, School of Performing Arts and Media College of Arts at Chung-Ang University, Seoul.

Over the past years he has been working in an interdisciplinary practice where medium translations and ongoing transformation processes are playing an important role. Drawing from various film or art historical references he reinterprets representations of our material and visual culture. Sometimes he refers to an auto-biographical background interested in how cultural forms migrate between different localities and continue to live on as new narrations in something such as patterns, culture, ordinary objects, plants or humans. While flirting with the notion of chance, materials and ideas are regarded as having their own will and agency. In his recent exhibitions labor intensive crafted or machine fabricated objects, such as knits, bamboo baskets and glass paperweights, mimic museum or shop displays and simultaneously are performed as fluid processes.

His works were on display with solo shows including: Passage, Gregorzki Shows, Berlin; Given Time, Black Sesame, Institute for Provocation, Beijing (2016); Home Sequence, Rongwrong, Amsterdam (2015); with group exhibitions such as Form/less, Whistle, Seoul, South Korea (2019), From Here to There, SeMa, Seoul, South Korea (2019), among many others.
