austrian/spanish artist, was born 1985, works transdisciplinary and lives in Vienna and Burgenland. Her artistic expression is transmedial and encompasses drawings, paintings, sound installations, multimedia objects, and social, participatory actions. She often uses oral history as a method to explore individual and collective memories, which form the basis of her artistic expression. She is part of the artist collective CRAFT. Her works have been presented in art spaces and public spaces in Austria, Mexico, Germany, and Italy.
Artist Statement
At the core of my artistic practice lies the field of tension between power relations and implicit social as well as linguistic marginalizations—intertwined with a critical reflection on my own entanglement within these structures. As an archaeologist of my biography, I unearth traces of past events to reveal their impact on the present, paying particular attention to the social negotiation of the periphery–center relationship. I engage with both tangible and invisible structures that shape bodies, behavior, identity, and community. Language emerges here as a site of contradictory forces: it can be emptied of meaning to resist authority, or unfold as a subversive tool. The body likewise appears mechanized, ritualized, or reclaimed as a site of resistance.
Previous works also have addressed gender diversity, gender identity, and sexuality, as well as the exclusion of social groups through media and language. Across these different approaches, the works suggest that while systems may shape identity and behavior, they remain susceptible to disruption and open to reinvention. The aim of my artistic practice is therefore to expose interdependencies and social relations and to situate them within new, multilayered constellations.
