He studied photography at the Staatliche Lehranstalt für Fotografie in Munich and is now based in Paris.

He predominantly documents youth culture and transformation on the borders of Eastern Europe. Bienert has published the books Wake up Nights (2017) about the young nightlife culture in Ukraine, East End of Europe (2020) about a pro-European generation in Georgia, Happy Springs (2023) forms a collective portrait of being young in Ukraine. His fourth book Armenia (2024) brings together a collection of images reflecting on identity and fragments of collective memory.
ABOUT THE SERIES
The series portrays youth shaped by history and resilience in the smaller villages along Armenia’s northern border with Azerbaijan. Decades of ongoing conflict with Azerbaijan have deeply impacted these communities. In some villages, homes still lack electricity and direct access to water. A recently signed peace agreement brings new hope for lasting peace and a sovereign identity.
