Johanna Bruckner
Johanna Bruckner’s (*1984) artistic work appears as a kaleidoscope of moving images, sound, narration and performance, built on an elaborate theoretical and poetical foundation. Operating in what Bruckner describes as an ecology of trust and care, it is the imagination that emerges as the central instrument in building a new reality where human, non-human and technical bodies fluidly merge into one another. The jury was impressed by Bruckner’s visually striking eloquence in negotiating current discourses on identity politics, feminism, queer theory, post-humanism and the capitalisation of corporeality and intimacy.
