CHRISTOPH
SOLSTREIF PIRKER

I am an architect, but I do not build. I am interested in spaces, atmospheres, and histories. Excited about what happens within a drawing. As a painter, I immerse myself in colors, lines, and surfaces. As an artistic researcher, I investigate traumatized landscapes and performatively unveil the unconscious layers of the Earth. As a writer, I speculate on a feminine-matrixial relationship between humans and nature. As a professor of aesthetic education, students and I think about artistic production, representation, and curation. As a philosopher, I am strongly inclined toward post-structuralist thought, alterity, and ethics & aesthetics. As a psychotherapist-in-training (person-centered therapy), I listen to and walk with people. As an organist, I feel close to Renaissance organ literature, Olivier Messiaen, and improvisation. As a human , I am grateful to live in this world.

I am based in Graz, Austria.
