Eugen Wist (b. 1989 in Sheregesh, Russia) studied Fine Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and graduated in 2020 from Städelschule Frankfurt. His artworks and mise-en-scène-like installations, draw upon elements of longing, transience, alienation, and a sense of melancholia. His experience of migration was an incisive turn of fate that is reflected upon throughout his practice. Wist uses a range of materials, whereby the traces of being recycled or readymade linger, echoing the ambivalence of the past and the present
