Jasmin Schaitl (AT)
is a live action-based artist. She graduated in 2012 from The University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where she wrote her master thesis about representation of performance art. The remnants and outcomes of her performances are important aspects of her work and often culminate in installations. In her durational works, she emphasizes the individual perception of time passing. Instead of constructing narratives, she bases her actions on the simplicity of specific, repetitive, and slow movements. She has performed, exhibited, led workshops, and organized in Europe, Central and South America.
