Ivonne Thein is a visual artist whose multimedia works explore the socio-political status of the body in the digital age. In her works she deals with gender roles, the transience of the body, posthumanism, and the change of our contemporary idea of body, in the context of digital image techniques. In her lecture she gives an insight into her work and her artistic development, from an initially purely photographic practice, to a multimedia way of working.
