Since the early 2000s, Tino Sehgal has created choreographed works that integrate performers into scenarios orchestrated around movement, singing, or conversation with spectators. His artistic approach, more akin to ballet and theatre than performance, is informed by his background in dance and economics, as well as by his conviction that our current system of production and consumption is both ecologically and socially unsustainable.

Born in 1976 in London, Tino Sehgal is a visual artist and choreographer. He studied conceptual art, contemporary dance, and economic theory at the Humboldt University and at the Folkwang Universität der Künste in Berlin. A finalist for the Hugo Boss Prize in 2006 and the Turner Prize in 2013, he won the Golden Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013. Tino Sehgal lives and works in Berlin.
