christoph schwarz (Austria)

Christoph Schwarz, born in 1981, is based in Vienna. He works with artefacts from everyday life to tell stories about a digitalized society, through staged press conferences, mobile phone installations, faked EU agencies and spam mails on sale in galleries. In the words of Daniel Bleninger, his practice is not bound to a specific media but shows a highly ironic approach and affection for beauty in the mundane.
