Marieluisa Lenglachner, born in 1990 in Oberndorf, is a Vienna-based interdisciplinary artist and researcher exploring the complex relationships between humans, non-human beings, and our environment. Her practice includes sculpture, installation, painting, photography, textiles and video. With a background in anthropology and photography, she currently studies experimental art in the class of Anna Jermolaewa at Kunstuniversität Linz.
Her journey is not one of fixed destinations but of ongoing transformation and exploration: in her material-oriented practice, she interweaves textures, materials, colors, stories and shapes, gently leading to a heterogeneous way of storytelling. In her sculptures and installations, synthetic and organic components interplay. They form new poetic constellations, probing how humanity shapes and is shaped by the world and asking how new spaces for coexistence could emerge. Aiming for a co-authorship with natural forces, some works are exposed to water, light, wind, and weather: they change colors, fade, or decay. Through her art, Lenglachner fosters spaces of vulnerability and shared (un-)learning, urging a collective reimagining of our relationship with nature.
Her work is a map of questions: How do we see? How do we listen? How do we create relationships that honor the complexity and beauty of a world in flux? To encounter her work is to witness the fragility and resilience of the world anew and to imagine it, not as it is, but as it could be: whole, vibrant, alive.
Her works are displayed in national and international contexts, recent showings were at sommerfrischekunst, Klimabiennale Wien, Salzamt Linz, Maerz Gallerie and Soho Studios Wien. Recent residencies have been at Künstlerdorf Neumarkt an der Raab and Raw Matters Wien. Since 2023 she is part of the Common Ground, a collaborative art project, that creates a space for diverse exchange while working together on breading a rug.
