ABOUT
Hey I’m Esther an artist from Vienna
I work with an installative multi media approach to build scenes in which visitors can play freely. I’m interested in creating environments in which performative actions are preprogrammed and feel easy and light. Topics revolve around humanness and trying to figure out what that means.
