Was born in Marburg and lives and works as a freelance choreographer in Munich. In his works Moritz Ostruschnjak dwells upon the transformations in physical and social experiences in times of digitization and virtualization.

His pieces are spaces made up of hyperlinks which utilize the media-machinery of the 21st century as a motif as well as an archive, thus mirroring and reflecting social processes.

Following the principle of pick & mix and cut & paste, highly heterogeneous elements and connections form the narrative of our reality.
