Cristiana Cott Negoescu
Born 24.07.1991, in Bucharest, Romania
Living and working in Düsseldorf, Germany
Statement:
I am a multimedia artist, or better said, a conceptographer. My main point of focus is performance art, followed by video and photography.
I concentrate my attention on social-political-spiritual matters, giving them a context in live or recorded actions. Through these artistic actions, I give examples of situations that I have experienced directly, or through other people.
