Lüthi Urs (born September 10, 1947, in Kriens, Switzerland) is a Swiss conceptual artist and one of the pioneers of European body art. He attended the School of Applied Arts in Zurich (1963-1964) and initially worked as a graphic designer before turning to art. Lüthi gained international recognition in the early 1970s for his androgynous self-portraits and performance work, using his own body and alter ego as the primary subject of his art. His work explores themes of identity, sexuality, and the relationship between reality and fiction, often combining irony and self-irony with a controlled aesthetic quest. Throughout his career, he has worked across multiple media including photography, sculpture, painting, video, performance, and installation. His artistic practice is characterized by constant formal innovation while maintaining thematic coherence around questions of selfhood and existence.
