Jens lives and works in Berlin.

His artistic practice often engages with architecture and the forces that shape our surroundings. This interest has led to exhibitions, documentary films, books, and lectures that have been shown at the following institutions and festivals: DOK Leipzig, Los Angeles Filmforum, Arch+ Salon, AFFR Rotterdam, Kasseler Dokfest, International Short Film Festival Hamburg, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, Maximiliansforum Munich, and Bundeskunsthalle Bonn.

Together with architects Marius Helten and Leonard Wertgen, he founded the group "Film Based Research," using film as a research tool to understand our built environment in all its diversity and contradictions. Since 2023, "Film Based Research" has been collaborating with the Chair of Housing at the Faculty of Architecture, RWTH Aachen.

In 2024, he received the Kunstfonds Stipendium. From 2011 to 2014, he was a scholarship holder of the Deutsche Studienstiftung and completed his studies at HFBK Hamburg with Thomas Demand and Jeanne Faust.

He also works on commissioned projects.
