Till Langschied is a visual artist and writer based in Basel, Switzerland. Working across sculpture, video, installation, painting, printmaking, and poetry, his practice examines contemporary experiences of alienation within a globalised world shaped by logistics, data systems, and technological infrastructures. Drawing on his previous career in industrial textile production, he explores the destabilisation of symbolic and social structures through recurring motifs such as chains, packages, and graph paper, as well as figures that embody the contradictions of dependence and critique.

Langschied studied at AMD Düsseldorf, Institut Kunst HGK Basel, and the Roaming Academy of the Dutch Art Institute. He is the founder of the queer writing collective Q.U.I.C.H.E. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Museum Tinguely, Helmhaus Zürich, Kunsthalle Osnabrück, HEK, Centre Culturel Suisse Paris, Kunstraum Niederoesterreich Vienna, and Cité Internationale des Arts Paris.
