some of favourite found things
1. Summarize your work in one word?
Erfindung
2.What inspires you to continue making work?
Trying to understand
3. What are you currently working on at the moment?
A work about alter-egos, my stage design studies, constructing situations, kunst, kunst, kunst. You‘ll see!
4. Who inspires you most to push your work further?
Of course, friends and family. My teachers in Vienna, and all the people there. These inspi- ring artists in no particular order: Harun Farocki, Martha Rosler, Kader Attia, Hito Steyerl, Alexander Kluge, Toni Morrison, Tania Bruguera, Unica Zürn, Jean Tingguely, Joseph Beuys and Ana Mendieta’s work.
Capitalists and surely also stupid politicians.
5. If you could say anything to your former self, regarding your art practice, that would help your progress what would it be?
To pay more attention to the things I have an (almost urgent) need to create rather than what I think i should, could, would create.
