Costa Vece (Herisau, 1969), lives and works in Zurich.

Typical of Costa Vece’s practice is to let actions tied to his personal experience be reflected in a much wider overview of social experience, this attitude translated later in installations and objects that activate a mutual relationship between them, their surrounding space and the viewer.
