about





















HARALD STOJAN (*Austria 1993, he/him/xe/xim) lives and works inter Berlin and Vienna as dancer/performer, soundartist, somatic voice teacher and poet oscillating between dance/performance, contemporary music’s & fine arts. 

Studies of audio engineering (SAE Vienna, 2014) and computer music and electronic media (MDW Vienna 2014 - 2017) in Vienna as well as dance at Tanzfabrik Berlin (2019) shape his output.

Core topics of his artistic production revolve around developing and queering affects and formats through utilising different media and expanding the conventional use of tools.
The use of voice and electronic sound are never far away from the dancing body in his work.

Artistic collaborations in Theatre, Architecture,Fashion & Dance – among others at Signature Theater New York/Broadway,Columbia University New York, TAKE Festival for Fashion Vienna, Actoral Festival Marseille and venues all over Vienna (Theater in der Drachengasse, Kabelwerk/Wien, WUK, EKH etc.) and Berlin (HAU, Uferstudios, Radialsystem, Spektrum, etc.). 

Including work, research and output among others with Jeremy Wade, Simon Mayer, Sergiu Matis, Lavinia Vago, Roger Sala Reyner, Holly Herndon & Colin Self.

blocks of basalt dropped onto sand,















fragments of encoded information –








echo      like     reverberant works of metal,

















throw a stone,









.

.




hallways of black hole-infinite-corridors,





















a step on sand,




like up the stairs you forgot a step,
breathe in, slowly    sway    backwards,


























! HAIR SKIN SKULL


-           phase alternate lines












a radiant hum
droning effortlessly in space,























refracted shards of thinking
                             tumble down
                                         like feathers,


perishing on concrete floors in abandoned factory halls,

                                    on layers,

                 on layers,

layers,





dervish dance in it
fling it into air -
lights filtered,
slow-, silver-, shifting-,


                               oversaturated shine













copper reverberance
















zero-g




                     and flight instincts
















crayon prosthetics
artiodactyl prosthetics
s p a s m odic        pa ces


onyx marble atrium
rush through the temple












stream through:
artificial rooms
intelligence
personas

















unassertive buoyant shoulder blades scraping textiles



















sprockets clicking into place,
thickly covered in machine liquids - adhesive with dust
shifting realities into one another,
eyes rolling inside their holes, inwards
here and now
here and now,
here and now!
sizzling distortion













the sound of a construction-site-iron-fence rattling





















slight errors
jittering
scared up flattering
coniferous green
false awakeninga























marble rolling on the upstairs floor.
