Katrin Plavcak

Katrin Plavcak is a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the College of Fine Arts and Cultural Studies. She co-leads the multi-year interdisciplinary project DAS UNDING, which explores the cultural production of unnameable/untouchable objects and their associated affects (e.g., fear, love, fascination). The project involves evening events called Unding-Soirées featuring guest experts from psychoanalysis and sexual therapy, and a collaborative blog documenting student and researcher contributions.

Research focuses on the ontology of 'non-things' and their transformation processes, blending artistic, philosophical, and social science perspectives. The DAS UNDING BLOG serves as a platform for student publications and international scholarly observation. Collaborations include the Sculpture - Transmedia Space Department (Prof. Ali Janka and Prof. Tobias Urban).
