Michel Niknafs (Berlin, 1989) is a club owner, entrepreneur, and multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores social issues, particularly urban space appropriation and its accompanying social dynamics. Central to his work is the movement of guests within space: how they enter, traverse, and exit environments. Niknafs treats space not as passive backdrop but as an active participant in dialogue with people. Using mirrors, thread, and concrete, he creates deliberate contrasts that challenge perception and invite both literal and metaphorical reflection. The interactive dimension is essential, referencing collective experiences found in club contexts that are direct alongside physical and fleeting. Dynamics paired with rhythm serve as guiding motifs throughout his work, driven by his search for authentic moments of being.
