The Longega Project team currently consists of Fabian Feichter, Youlee Ku, Judith Neunhäuserer, Siyoung Kim, Nele Ka and Oliver Hausmann. All team members are visual artists themselves and have known each other from the Munich Art Academy.

In the mountains, you don't introduce yourself by name, title, origin or profession. None of that means anything here, where even the most marvellous person is like a pebble next to the indescribable power with which the mountains tower over the globe.

Travellers have always told each other stories in the mountains. From their homeland or picked up in foreign lands, they are spoken into the flames from where they give the round another warmth. A warmth that envelops and caresses the spirit.

With the kind support of

Fabian Feichter

Fabian Feichter (*1986 in Bressanone, Italy) lives and works between Munich, South Tyrol and South Korea. Feichter comes from a family of artists: his father and grandfather are wood sculptors, his mother a painter. In 2014, he completed his studies in sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich as a master student of Olaf Metzel. His diploma thesis was awarded the DAAD Prize. In 2019, he received the Ludwig Gies Prize of the LETTER Foundation.

Feichter works primarily with performance, video and sculpture, each with a sarcastic sense of humour. Since 2017 he has also been experimenting with analogue electronic music and is part of three music groups: Kunststoffwerkstatt, Verra and Frauenstrasse. In the same year, he founded Longega Project with Youlee Ku.
