Fabian Sch\u00e4fer (*1986, lives and works in Frankfurt am Main) is an interdisciplinary artist and theorist. His multimedia practice operates at the intersection of eco-art, queer ecology, posthuman theory, and new materialism. In his work, he explores the relationship between humans, nature, and the unconscious as an interwoven field of material, psychic, and socio-ecological processes, developing a research-based practice that combines artistic production with theoretical inquiry. At the core of his work are the relationships between human and non-human actors, as well as the investigation of urban and natural ecologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sch\u00e4fer works across media, including installation, printmaking, sculpture, and process-based formats. His methodology is grounded in field research, observation, and experimental engagement with materials, often incorporating organic elements such as fungi or lichens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside his artistic practice, Sch\u00e4fer contributes to lectures and theoretical discourse, including at the conference \u201cVerwoben\u201d at the International Psychoanalytic University Berlin and at \u201cZo\u00f6p Connections: Residencies, Regeneration and Cultural Relations\u201d at the Nieuwe Instituut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been an artist-in-residence at Zo\u00f6p Connections (Amsterdam) and Medienfrische (Austria), and has exhibited his work in, among other places, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the collective mania, Sch\u00e4fer works collaboratively on forms of artistic counter-research and alternative knowledge practices, and is also active in curatorial and discursive contexts, including panel discussions and transdisciplinary art festivals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
