what is it that makes us happy - what makes us sad? I am seeking this answer in the words and life of people I meet. this clip is a glimpse of what is yet to be found in the now and in the future. Video work filmed on tape in Mexico City 2019.
This video contains interviews with various young adults, on who they are, their fears and wishes and the essential question - what would you say to the world if the whole world would listen to you now?

WHO CAN WE RELY ON IF NOT ON HUMANITY.
the following pieces address political injustice - questioning the moral standards of a superficial society - the fear of a dystopia and wish for an utopia.
TRASH NEEDS TO BE TRASHED.
2021
This installation addresses the corrupt political happenings in Austria since the release of the well known IBIZA video.
Material: a traditional garbage bin from Viennas street - put into concrete. phones, laptop, poker chips, news paper sealed in epoxy raisin.
In 2021 Austria recorded 31 murders of women. In most cases, the perpetrators are ex-partners, fathers or even men who were simply turned away.
This work draws attention to the sad peak in femicide and the recent rise in domestic violence against women. The summit cross is covered in sugar and the omnipresent trivialization of measures is dying out due to the lack of preventive measures.
In the video installation, I think of these women for 31 seconds and open my eyes to the future, hoping for political insight and social change.

OBJECTS, is a reflection on two worlds the artist is confronted within her artistic world and day to day job. What was once a passion turned into a job and so the people, who were the artists subject became her objects. She takes a critical stand on how this tired human into selling objects and breaks it with a thoughtful installation through her personal gaze.
DENYING THE LIGHTS OF ATTENTION
Does it give me a chance to exist in front of it, or, on the contrary, does it deny me as a subject, refusing to consider the other in its structure?
