Nino Bulling is an artist and author working in the areas of installation, drawing, and strategies of publishing. He has produced four graphic novels, marked by his interest in the visual politics of the medium’s documentary quality, including Bruchlinien: Drei Episoden zum NSU with co-author Anne König (Spector Books, 2018) and Lichtpause (Rotopol, 2017). His most recent publication is the anthology Cutes: Collected Queer and Trans Comics, co-edited with Nour Hifaoui and Joseph Kai from the collective Samandal (Distanz/Samandal, 2023).
Bulling’s first fictional comic book abfackeln/Firebugs (Edition Moderne/Colorama, 2022) was originally published in 2022 as part of Bulling’s contribution to documenta 15 in Kassel, which also included an exhibition and an extensive public program around trans and queer strategies in graphic publishing. Firebugs has been translated into numerous languages. Bulling lives and works in Berlin.
