Abdulhamid Kircher (b. 1996) is an artist from Queens, New York. He was born in Berlin to German and Turkish parents, and immigrated with his mother to the United States at the age of eight. His work is a living archive of place and people, as it is also a dedication to the language of photography, the mechanics and aesthetic possibilities of the form. Through his devotion to classical forms of image making and the radical experimentation required for each of his subjects, his process bridges the idea between document and narrative.

Kircher received his BA in Culture and Media from The New School in 2018 and his MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California San Diego in 2022. He currently lives and works between Berlin and New York. His first solo exhibition in Europe, Rotting from Within, was presented at carlier | gebauer Berlin, in 2024. An eponymous monograph was published by Loose Joints the same year. The series is currently presented at Deichtorhallen Hamburg as part of the 9th Triennale der Photographie. In July 2025, Kircher received the Grand Prix Images Vevey Award, leading to a presentation at the 10th edition of Biennale Images Vevey of his new series, To Be Held By The Earth, in September 2026. In 2026, Kircher was awarded the Hamburger Bahnhof Studio Award and released his second monograph, New Genesis, published by Loose Joints.
