In my artwork I understand my own body as well as the world around it as creative material to explore with, trying to gain knowledge about the individual, culture and society, as well as the physical world through a constant process of communication.

WITH A LITTLE HELP OF GRANDMA (2006 – 2025)

Brühl-Forest, Austria (2025)

This artwork explores the material wool in different environments, questioning dichotomous ideas about materials representing maleness and femaleness, softness and hardness, technology and nature,  vulnerability and resistance, creation and decay, high art and craft. 

The same artwork was  installed almost 20 years earlier within a different environment, a steel factory, raising the question of how environments influence the perception of material and form, and what the same artwork is able to communicate in different settings.

Acting Performance in PIGGY BANK (2024)

Director: Christoph Schwarz, funded by: BMKOES film funding of the City of Vienna, Lower Austria, the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF). Premiere: Diagonale. Festival of Austrian Film. Graz/Austria.

Filmmaker Christoph Schwarz starts a money strike for Austrian TV format “Striking Years”. As an introduction to climate and a unique opportunity to secretly buy a long-awaited weekend house for the film budget. Christoph rescues food from the bin, grows potatoes at roundabouts and herbs in a convertible, and blocks motorway construction sites. However, the problem of having earned money with a money strike is not so easy to get rid of. The trailer can be watched here.

WHAT WE SEE, IS WHAT’S EXPOSED BY LIGHT (2023)

This artwork tries to explore light as a material. What can be exposed via light? What remains hidden when light is absent? Who decides where light is being projected onto? 

TRACE (2011 – ongoing)

trace_Logo_FIN_croped

Long-term performance project with Ela Cosen / New York-Graz-Wien-Berlin-Frankfurt/Oder-Frankfurt/Main-Berlin-Leeds

This work focuses on time and transience of life. Every year since 2011 the artists follow the same trace in a different place. Through incorporating colour the traces of their movements are being inscribed on the canvas. Thereby, creating an abstract painting, which will find its completion only after they have stopped meeting and dancing. If the artists manage to maintain the project as planed through their lifetime, their deaths will give birth to the completed painting.

THE AESTHETICS & POETRY OF BUREAUCRACY (2020)

As an act of empowerment while facing bureaucratic hurdles, this artistic examination uses bureaucratic forms as creative material, searching for poetry within their language and aesthetics.

What kind of aesthetic can be found within bureaucratic forms and texts? Through deconstructing bureaucratic structures, this series searches for meaning beyond functionality and necessity.

PIXEL, BYTES & FILM – ORF III ARTIST IN RESIDENCE (2013 – 2021)

In my dissertation, I examined the relationship between contemporary art and public-television. The findings of this research were practically incorporated into the development of the art project and funding program Pixel, Bytes & Film – ORF III Artist in Residence. This series understands television as creative material. Annually, ten to twelve art projects were financed, developed, and broadcast. Workshops accompanied the production process and provided support for artists.

Over the years “Pixel, Bytes & Film – ORF III Artist in Residence” has collaborated with the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF), the Film Department of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Civil Service & Sport (BMKOES) and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

Back in 2005 my colleagues Eva Beierheimer, Miriam Laussegger, Gudrun Gruber, Miriam Raggam  and I started an art-TV-show on the community channel Okto-TV in Vienna. The show opened a space of communication for Vienna’s vibrant contemporary young art scene at the time.

The archive of the show can be accessed and viewed here.

THE NEW WAY (2004)

Permanent art installation at the Fine Arts Academy Reykjavik/Iceland.

Eva Beierheimer and I constructed a connecting line from the academy building to the nearby bus station. The path emerged as a logical consequence after the “deer pass“ of the students, which walked along it everyday and by doing so left their marks engraved in the ground.
Natural ways are results of human movement in public spaces and they also function as communication lines. Ways are accentuations between spaces; they connect locations and people and thereby act like a language. If you are able to read the narrow caved trails aside from the already existing architectural conditions, stories and plots start to appear…
