Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist born in 1966, recognized for his works that are at the crossroads of visual art and performance. Trained at the Fine Arts School of Vienna, he has built a reputation for an innovative and multidimensional artistic approach, using various media such as sculpture, installation, painting and performance.
Prein's work explores universal themes such as identity, memory and the passage of time, often through a minimalist and conceptual aesthetic. He is particularly known for his monumental installations that play with the viewer's perceptions and transform the surrounding space. Through his art, he seeks to provoke reflection on the human condition, the nature of the modern world and the way we interact with our environment.

His work has been presented in prestigious galleries as well as at international biennials. In addition to his exhibitions, Prein has also been involved in the creation of collaborative projects, often involving artists and researchers, to address contemporary social and ecological issues.
Over the years, he has established himself as a major figure in Austrian contemporary art, with an artistic practice rooted in the exploration of the limits between the visible and the invisible, and a particular attention to the materiality of the work and to space.
