Trin Alt (b. Maribor, SI) is an interdisciplinary artist working in the medium of drawing and painting often arranged in a spatial setting.

In his practice, Trin analyses the objects of daily use and how much they structure and defy our identity and gender. In late-stage capitalism possessing specific things translates directly into class and status. He questions consumerism by giving importance to often omitted objects. In his latest works it is cutlery, a screw, or a button that are given importance and become a symbols of daily existence.

Working with previously used objects like duvets, motorcycle helmets or discarded cardboard boxes Trin reestablishes ownership over strangers’ belongings. In the process of collaging self-applied patterns and images onto second-hand things an intimate object becomes public, like in the duvet series where stains left by bodies of previous owners are clearly visible to the public. 

He is currently living and working in Vienna and Prague. He is studying in the TransArts class at Die Angewandte and is a recipient of a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture in Slovenia.
