My artistic practice is located at the intersection of visual art and design. In my video works, I am trying to explore the logics and limits of the digital, preferably in exchange with unknown collaborators on online platforms.
Prior to studying Fine Arts at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and Visual Communication at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), my creative approach was shaped by studying the theoretical frameworks of communication and working as an educator at the Ravensbrück Memorial. Fields of study such as the formation of identity, queer and cultural studies as well as collective memory are themes which continuously inform my research.
Next to independent projects, I have been working on numerous websites, books, and exhibitions with various institutions and studios, some of which you can find listed below. For collaborations, questions and other inquiries, do not hesitate to get in touch with me via hello@lukasgraf.at or to go have a look at my Vimeo and Instagram.
