Due to Clemens Krauss’ medical-biological background, he holds degrees in both
Medicine and Fine Art, his investigations are often affected by natural science.
His central concern is the human body. He operates between performance, painting, photography and site specific installation, each approach sharing the same conceptual framework. Krauss is interested in the body as a scene of identity, individuality and society and the question of the relation between the outer appearance and inner life of the body.
