The filmmaker, musician and performer was born in Vienna, Austria in 1967. Since the late 1990s, she has been intensely engaged with the media of video and sound and experimenting with the connection between auditory and visual stimuli. She was co-organiser of the Reheat Festival from 2007 to 2015 and co-organises the sporadic institut5haus exhibitions. Her films zounk!, darkroom and THE (co-directed by Dieter Kovačič) screened in the Berlinale Shorts competition. In 2022, she was accepted as a member of the Vienna Secession. Happy Doom was originally presented at the 2023 Berlinale. It is being rescreened as part of the “You and I Are Not Alone – Berlinale Shorts Revisited” programme in celebration of the festival’s 75th anniversary.
