In the tradition of the situationists and the utopia of collective art, Daniel Milohnic's early work deals with the thematization of public space as a framework for social interaction. From 1995 to 2002 he worked with Dirk Paschke.

His international exhibitions have curated a. a. Kasper König and Tom van Gestel. His most famous work is the "Hafenbad". Under the name Werksschwimmbad , the work was shown in the exhibition “Work, Eating, Fear” in 2001 as part of the project “Coking plant Zollverein, contemporary art and criticism” curated by Marius Babias and Florian Waldvogel . In 2002 the factory was taken over by the Zollverein Foundation and is in operation during the summer months. It is a symbol of the structural change in the Ruhr area.

With his interventions in the form of spectacles and the organization of eclectic working alliances, Milohnic takes a stand on political, art and music-aesthetic questions of our time. Many of his works of art contain the possibility of further design and can serve as impulses for further artistic work. This democratic approach to work is often shown in co-productions with two or three people and led, among other things, to the establishment of the artist group Phantombuero in 1997.

Through his spatial interventions, Milohnic creates situations that, in contrast to the surrounding architecture, enable a new use of the place. One could assign to these empty spaces what Robert Smithson claims for American suburbs: [...] Those holes are, so to speak, the monumental empty spaces that project memory traces from the stomach into a lost vision of the future. Such futures can be found in B-classified utopia films, which are then imitated in suburban culture. This utopia (s), which the consumer industry presents in a convincingly drowsy way in the centers, quickly lose their luster in the urban periphery. In other works by Milohnic, too, playing with cliché and reality is a recurring element: sometimes only quoted, sometimes deliberately deconstructed.

From 2001 to 2011, Milohnic worked together with the architecture firm Resonatorcoop (Lex Rijkers and Nana Hirsch) on various exhibition formats that further developed the participatory artistic interventions. This includes the LKW Gallery project, which was realized as the winner in the 2008 Outdoor Gallery of the City of Gdansk Competition and is still used today as a gallery and event location by the residents and the Center Contemporary Art “Laznia”. As well as the “De Parasol” project, a mobile, foldable container module, which was implemented between 2003 and 2012 in the satellite town of Utrecht (Leidsche Rijn) as a meeting point and cultural center

In addition to his freelance artistic work, Daniel Milohnic has also been working as a graphic designer for moving images for Hessischer Rundfunk since 2004 . His works move freely between analog and digital media.
