    \textit{T. Friedrich} gave in [J. Geom. Phys. 28, No. 1--2, 143--157 (1998; Zbl 0966.53042)] a geometrically invariant spinorial representation of surfaces in \(\mathbb{R}^3\). This approach was generalized to surfaces in other three-dimensional geometries and also in the semi-Riemannian case. The aim of present paper is to extend this construction to the case of codimension two. More precisely, a geometrically invariant representation of surfaces in \(4\)-dimensional space-forms \(M^4(c)\) is provided by spinors solutions of a Dirac equation.
