Born in 1996 in Hildesheim (Germany), the artistic position lives and works in Vienna.
The artistic practice operates in the tension between play and work, fiction and reality, as well as between professionalism and parody. Through evolving forms of “para-play,” situations and positions emerge that reflect the demands of artistic professionalization alongside the emancipatory potential of play and the paradox of moving forward while simultaneously feeling stuck.
The education took place at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Studies included experimental and interdisciplinary painting with Christian Sery, Sculpture and Space Strategies with Iman Issa, and art and cultural studies with Diedrich Diederichsen. In addition, the artistic position worked as an assistant in the Academy’s metal workshop.
Works have been presented internationally in solo and group exhibitions as well as in performative formats, including in Vienna, Dresden, Marseille, Bonn, Bregenz, and Washington, D.C. Recent presentations include exhibitions at Das Weiße Haus Vienna, WAF Galerie Vienna (solo), as well as contributions to performance programs and institutional exhibition formats.
The artistic practice has received several awards and grants, including the Birgit Jürgenssen Prize, the Federal Prize for Art Students (Germany), and a multi-year scholarship from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation.
