In my artistic practice I primarily engage with intervention, appropriation, and participation, focusing on rethinking and transforming objects, situations, and systems. In recent years, I realized numerous projects in public space.

Currently, two of my long-term projects continue to unfold in Graz, Austria: SchAUGEnuss and syllaBLEndings—each an invitation to pause, observe, and immerse.

I was an associate artist with IN SITU, the European platform for artistic creation in public space, as part of the (UN)COMMON SPACES project (2020–2024). Within this framework, I realized 25 site-specific interventions across 14 public spaces for AUDIO IBRIDA by ZONA K in Milan, Italy (2022). Additionally, I created sosEINdrücke—a series of 12 typographical installations embedded in public and rural landscapes—unfolding as part of La Strada Festival in Graz and its surroundings, Austria (July 29 – August 6, 2023).

The intervention and group performance diSTOPie and the large-scale temporary sculpture грАД are examples of CDoupbles unfolding WITHandINc PUBLICandSPACE.

For a deeper dive into my world of artistic intervention and transformation, explore the projects listed in the section creActivities WITHandIN PublicandSpaces—each a bold reimagining of a variety of public spaces.

My Blog
challengedgames.blogspot.co.at

The CHAlleNGED GAMES blog was conceived with the hope to stimulate divergence thinking and challenge the viewer to rethink one's routines and shift his/her perspective on the status quo.

The blog was initially dedicated to the CHAlleNGED GAMES series and seeks for extended meaning in playing and its relation to aspects of human existence and production.

As with the time I started to experiment with another system - the language, to apply mathematical logic and seek patterns in words, in the last years my publications are mostly about this part of my work.

As a manner of artistic creation in many of my recent works I employ existing urban situations, objects, visuals, texts and just add often a small detail, which significantly changes their meaning and/or function.

St.art book includes art works in the period 2004-2010, some still in progress at the time and some as ideas developed during 2010. The selection is made to guide the viewer through an artistic process that lead to the birth of ideas such as Space NRGZers and Dadissuasori.

The book ends with a couple of blank pages, which are to e filled in with sketches and ideas for new works employing the same approach.
