Markus Jeschaunig (*1982 Austria, based in Graz) is inspired by the dynamics of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, seeking to decipher natural, social, spatial and economic systems in order to formulate a critique of the systems we live and work in. His practice under the heading ‘agency in biosphere’ incorporates the fields of ecology, landscape, urbanism and technology, and discusses the role and responsibility of public space and social activism.
