Karin Ferrari studied cultural studies and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Her work explores contemporary life through everyday symbols and pop culture, often revealing hidden spiritual desires embedded in consumerism, technology, and the built environment. She works across video, installation, drawing, and spoken word—and sometimes even sees herself as a kind of medium. Based in Vienna and travels a lot.Her work has been shown internationally, including at the 8th Floor/The Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation (NYC), Belvedere 21 (Vienna), HAU Berlin, Museion Bolzano, Art Omi (NY), Pori Art Museum (Finland), the Allard Pierson Museum (Amsterdam), WRO Media Biennale (Poland), the Antarctic Biennale, the 5th Moscow Biennial for Young Art, The Wrong – Digital Art Biennale, and Videotage (Hong Kong), among others. Her videos appear on ARTE, ORF III, YouTube, and the 6x6 project (NY/Berlin).
