So far, so good
Born 1994 in Vienna, curious and confused all over the world. My work includes photography, graphic design, film, analog objects, art education, social work and skateboarding. Focusing on topics like identity and portrait, pop and subculture, migration and cultural conflict, gender and stereotypes, as well as irritation and observation, I want to make things understandable for uncles and aunts who don’t understand things. I think strangeness doesn’t hurt us but ignorance does, dialogue creates knowledge and we should sometimes unlearn what we’ve learned. In the context of art and visual communication, I consider questions and uncertainty to be as exciting as answers and opinion. Involving people into certain projects makes sense to me, as I don’t want to work simply for my own good. Based in Vienna I teach art in public schools. With Zeit!Raum I work at Skatepark Penzing as youth worker and skateboarding teacher. With Skateboardclub Vienna I also give skate lessons.
Let’s collaborate!
