Wagner graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor of arts in theater in 2005. He also earned a dual bachelor of science in political science in 2005 from Sciences Po Paris and Northwestern University. Following a post-graduate study at NYU Tisch in 2007, Wagner worked with Michael Haneke, the winner of the Palme d'Or. The artist has participated in two residence programs: the summer program at Villa Medici in Rome, Italy (2014), and Bob Wilson at the Watermill Foundation in New York City (2005). For his publication with the Verlag for Moderne Kunst Wagner in der Schweiz, Wagner won the 2013 Prix Lyrique Pierre Berge.
