Artist Statement

Stirnimann-Stojanovic’s concepts manifest and materialise through situations, performances, words, and objects.

Social issues and structural questions of the art system seen from the perspective of emerging artists are central themes in their practice. They are interested in testing the boundaries between arts, activism, and society through transdisciplinary approaches.

By activating the audience, the spectators shift from being viewers to actors, depending on the situation, which allows a dialogue triangle to arise.

Stirnimann-Stojanovic aim by extending their understanding of the current situation within the art field, by putting its reality in question, and by operating through collective strategies, to open the field to fairer and more sustainable labour conditions.

“Art is not a mirror to hold to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.” (B. Brecht)
