Karin Fisslthaler

Karin Fisslthaler (* 1981 in Oberndorf, Salzburg) works as an artist, filmmaker and electronic musician. She studied Experimental Design in the department of Fine Arts and PhD in Practice at the University of Arts in Linz/Austria.
Many of her videos, works on papers and installations stem from her response to the way the media portrays the human body and how that affects notions of identity and communication. Found material is the primary source, which she collects, deconstructs and rearranges, often by means of cutting the material, whether it is audio, film/video material, books or photographs. Body languages like touching, glances, movements and gestures receive special attention.
As a musician, Karin Fisslthaler started her music career in 2003 when she was already active in the field of video art. In her solo project Cherry Sunkist she produces experimental electronic pop music, in which she creates her very own, incomparable style out of a vast variety of musical elements, ranging from New Wave, sound collages and catchy partly punk-inspired vocals.
She currently lives and works in Vienna.
