Christina Helena Romirer

Christina Helena Romirer was born in Graz and lives and works in Vienna. She studied Transmedia Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (Diploma, 2017) and Stage Design at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (Diploma, 2009). She works as a visual artist and scenographer.

She has participated in numerous artist-in-residence programs as well as national and international exhibitions. Her work has been presented, among others, at Forum Stadtpark (AT), Neue Galerie Joanneum (AT), ALU Sarajevo (BIH), Flux Factory (USA), as well as within the framework of the Kulturjahr 2020 (AT), Regionale XII (AT), and steirischer herbst (AT). In 2019/20, she was awarded the Kunstraum Steiermark Fellowship.

In her artistic practice - encompassing sculptures, installations, and interventions in public space - places, situations, and relationships play a central role. How do we interact within social and societal structures? How are systems of value generated and maintained? How do we navigate a world driven by consumption? What possibilities for action remain open to us, and where are they restricted?

Different materials, textures, and fragments of objects that are omnipresent in everyday life or shape it often serve as the starting point for her work. Their original meanings are questioned and re-examined; they are removed from their familiar contexts, transformed, and repositioned within new ones. Equally important is her engagement with language and textual fragments. Through perceptual and linguistic play, she seeks to open up new associative spaces for thought and to explore interactions, freedoms, and boundaries within contemporary social structures.
