Cristiana Cott Negoescu is a multi-media artist. She describes herself as a conceptographer, a combination of conceptual artist and choreographer. She uses photography, video, installation, poetry and performance to address socio-political issues in contemporary society. In the past these have included the exploitation of nature, migration, digitalisation, women's rights and workers' rights. In her installations, she uses exemplary situations, artistically intensified, to engage the audience emotionally and intellectually, or to immerse them in the situation.

In the artothek, she focuses on the living conditions of temporary and migrant workers, mostly from Eastern Europe, who perform a significant part of the work in the construction sector, in health and care for the elderly, and in agriculture, under legally and economically questionable conditions. They live among us in a parallel society with which the broad mass of society has very little contact.

In her installation at the artothek, Cristiana Cott Negoescu creates a permeability between the two spheres. She searches for answers to the question of what home means to us and what minimum requirements a place has to fulfil in order to give the individual a sense of home. The installation offers glimpses into parallel worlds that lead to a questioning of one's own position. As part of the opening, the installation will be activated by a performance.
