Currently lives and works in Amsterdam.
Micha Klein combines the latest computer and photographic technology
to explore the contemporary themes of club culture, fashion, music and
the mass media.
Klein's fantastical digital images mix reality with the virtual
world to create images that are both playful and beguiling.
His work over the last five years has been based on several themes which
have found their development in different series: Virtualistic Vibes,
Double Date, Artificial Beauty and Among Elves.
