Mateo Hamann was born in New York in 1997. In 2009, he moved to Frankfurt, Germany. After his arrival, he explored the city and immediately got inspired by the architecture. He started to photograph the city and two years later he had his first exhibition which led to exhibitions in galleries, a museum, and a university. His first collaboration was with CAPCO, who wanted to create an art calendar for 2014 with his photographs. His next project was with Oceans & Company, who wanted to publish a unique photography book on Frankfurt. In 2022 he released his second book 2CITIES with TwoRivers.
