The visual world of Luma.Launisch has been expanded with unique ceramic creations since 5 years by Florian Tanzer. The video artist lives out his passion for handicrafts. With the hashtag #avaseeveryday, Florian has been creating a vase or a creature every day since 2021.
Following on from the widely acclaimed presentations at Vienna’s Palmenhaus and at VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2022, Florian Tanzer’s ceramic works have been exhibited at the well known „Galerie Silvia Steinek“ in Viennas first district from December 7th to January 13th 2023 and in Belvedere21 as a friendly intervention for CIVA Media Art Festival in February 2023. MILAN DESIGN WEEK was the next huge step and it was there that Florian was discovered by his favorite London Gallery MINT. Now you find his ceramic art on display at London’s famous Bond Street too!
„When I start, I don’t know how it turns out, whether it will remain ‚just‘ a vase or whether I will add a character. I’m surprised myself when the finished creature smiles at me. I also always process my current mood and it can range from sad, confused to exuberantly happy. It gives me indescribable joy to knead the earthy material and to create something with my hands. Its my very personal way of intangible care, my artistic practice to deal with my mental health issues. I can turn my suffering into something meaningful. Meaningful for me and for the viewer. My art touches.“
Since 2003, the internationally renowned visual artists Astrid Steiner and Florian Tanzer have traveled the world with video art projects and musician friends. The duo magically creates visuals, artistic documentaries, PR films, video prints, and installations, works in the exciting field of artistic research, organizes parties, and indulges in their love of design: colorful, thoughtful, bewitching!
The visual world of Luma.Launisch, a combination of real-life images and abstractions, awakens associations – a visual world of analogies and symbolism plays with the visitor’s imagination: “We want to tell a story that plays out a little differently in everyone’s head, which creates images for the viewer without showing them concretely.”
