CLARA PISTNER
Services
​​
I create tailor-made text and video work for the arts and culture sector.
My services include:
-
Texts:
Artist statements
Biographies
Portraits
Interviews
Essays
Catalogue texts
Creative writing
Each text is developed in close collaboration and shaped around the individual voice, vision, and context of the person or institution I’m writing for.
-
Audiovisual Portraits:
Image or presentation videos introducing artists, musicians, collectives, associations, start-ups or companies, and showcasing their work and vision.
I realise these portraits together with videographer and photographer Philomena Wolflingseder, who has long specialised in portrait work in both film and photography.
Combining my conceptual and narrative approach with her technical and visual precision allows us to create videos that feel authentic, intimate, and artistically refined.
Depending on your preference, we can work in a documentary, narrative, or more experimental style.
For more information about our working approach and framework, please see the PDF below.
