Jürgen Buchinger

Jürgen Buchinger's artistic practice often deals with social and political topics and encompasses a wide range of media from video and sound installations to social interaction and collaborative works. He is opposed to the current system of global financial capitalism and believes in talking to each other as a political practice that can be fostered by art. Instead of solutions he aims to find poetic forms for over-complex but important topics to raise questions in his audience.

He is interested in using language as a material for evoking emotions rather than communicating concepts and in the poetry of formalised language.
