— Who I am, what I see, and why I color the world
— About
Color your life.
Mitja Koetter is a Berlin-based photographer and visual artist whose work explores color, identity, and urban modernity. With a background in philosophy and a decade spent traveling the world with the Formula 1 circuit, Koetter’s visual language blends pop aesthetics, experimental processes, and cultural observation.
His practice spans analog film, macro studies, digital manipulation and AI-driven series, creating vivid reinterpretations of reality. Inspired by motion, contrast and the fleeting nature of experience, his images turn the everyday into color-driven narratives.
