Charlotta Öberg (she/her) born 1987 in Söderhamn, Sweden, is an artist and performer living and working in Vienna
me? I m a fuck up, I m a daughter I m a queer, I m a performer, I m a romantic
sculptor, a poem, a faint, I m a dehydrated inflated bitchcoin. I'm a bat of the night,
my dressing is tight. I wear a tinker bell umbrella to ignore the fact a disease
robbed me of my uterus so that I can pretend I m a lesbian milf, I used to make
humorous pieces about norms, power structures and pressure of health and
success. Now I ended up in gallows humorous pieces dealing with death and
mortality.
