Life and art
After growing up in Germany, from 1993–94, Hans Kotter studied at the Art Students League of New York. This educational basis was further built upon with studies at the Media Design Academy in Munich from 2001-3. In 2004, Kotter was awarded the Kulturpreis Bayern (Bayern Culture Prize) by E.ON Bayern AG in the art and architecture category. He has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003. 2007-13, he has been a Lecturer at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Stuttgart.
He works with photography, conceptual, light and installation art. The light sculptures that he is best known integrate mirrors and color-changing lights or incorporate the photographs, Kotter produces by shooting light reflecting off of various prisms. Appearing in exhibitions with Adolf Luther, Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, François Morellet, Kotter is able to create works that are constantly in flux and open to viewer interaction
Hans Kotter’s work focuses on the physical, artistic elements of light, color, and space. He is interested in the changing appearance of these elements under different physical conditions. He creates both small individual works of art and large-scale installations, which rely on light and often integrate photography.

His work is included in international collections including the Borusan Collection in Istanbul; Kinetica Museum in London; Targetti Light Art Collection in Florence, Italy; Museum Ritter in Waldenbuch, Germany; Osthaus Museum in Hagen, Germany; the Kunstmuseum Celle, Germany; MAKK Museum für Angewandte Kunst Köln (Museum of Applied Art, Cologne), Germany; Villa Datris in L’Islesur la Sorgue, France; and the Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton, NY; among others.
