*1996, lives and works in Vienna
As a mixed-media artist, sissi petutschnig dedicates herself to a site-specific practice focusing
on performance art, expressed in videos, sound and spatial installations, poetry, costume
and tape art. Participatory, process-orientated and collective strategies often play an
overriding role, and the content thematically revolves around political discourses such as
classism, intersectionality, queer feminism or post-humanism as well as institutional
critique. Dreams, symbols and language itself have a strong influence.
