Maximilian Zschiesche born 2000 in Karlsruhe is an interdisciplinary artist. He studied Exhibition Design and Scenography at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG Karlsruhe) as a scholarship holder of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes), with minors in Media Art and Media Philosophy, as well as an exchange semester at The New School in New York in the Department of Media Studies. Since 2026 he has been living and working in Hamburg.

His artistic work explores the relationship between the natural and the artificial, understood as the two poles of a spectrum. He is particularly interested in how these categories are perceived and the relationships that emerge between them. Working at the intersection of the visual and performing arts, he develops interdisciplinary bodies of work spanning video, performance, installation, and objects, which he weaves together into an overarching narrative. Grounded in extensive research, his work brings together scientific, pop-cultural, aesthetic, and personal references, connecting them within a shared spatial context. His work has been presented at the Badisches Staatstheater, the Hoepfner Foundation, and ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.
