AND PRACTICE

Part of my artistic practice is a researched based approach, where I combine my sociological background with my artistic practice and interests. In the past years I focused on the exploration of Parasite Art, as a new artistic genre that works with conflict and disruption as the aesthetic moment. I released two Issues of the independent magazine Parasite Art as well as one issue of Kunstforum International as guest editor. Besides that I am a PhD Candidate in Artistic Research at the Bauhaus Universität Weimar (Prof. Mona Mahall, Florian Malzacher, Prof. Luzius Bernhard) still seeking the question of art and resistance. 

The term Parasite Art refers to political art and its aesthetics, but chooses a new strategy for it. It is not only about art that follows activist tactics or works with its own identity as a political instrument. Parasite Art tries to move on the margins of the system, according to Michel Serres’ theory of the parasite. It seeks the niche and for this it must empower itself to the logic of the system and co-opt aspects in order to be able to move within it. Parasite Art seeks an aesthetic and strategy that can still be implemented in post-pandemic times and in times of censorship and accelerated capitalism.
