Franziska Windisch is an artist and lecturer based in Brussels, Belgium. Her work moves between the areas of performance, text, composition and installation. She composes scores for performative acts which interrogate notions of trace, medium, sound and listening and which she then incorporates in linguistic, sculptural and installative arrangements. Her work has been presented internationally in art spaces and at festivals. She has taught at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, European Postgraduate in Arts in Sound (KASK) Gent and Sound Studies and Sonic Arts (UDK) Berlin, at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies, Justus Liebig University Gießen.  Currently she is subsitute professor for "Klangskulptur und Klanginstallation" at Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig.
