Michaela Schwentner

Michaela Schwentner’s artistic practice is driven by investigations and negotiations of the absent: Utopia, longing, places of longing, the projection surface of film as a source of reflection or archives whose historically representative content always refers to something vanished, past, lost, forgotten, concealed or underrepresented in history, society and culture.
In her work, researched and fictionalised material, assembled and recontextualised, opens up the space for various reflections. In terms of technique and content, she concentrates on reconstructions of structures and economic conditions of social patterns as well as on (moving) image production.
