Eva Leitolf
is an artist, educator and curator. She studied communication design with a focus on photography at University GH Essen and earned her MFA at the California Institute of the Arts with Allan Sekula. Critical examination of the practices of image production and contextualisation is a central thread running through all of Eva’s work, which explores contested societal phenomena such as colonialism, racism and migration. Her work has been shown worldwide at major venues, including the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Kunst Haus Wien in Vienna, and Fotostiftung Schweiz in Winterthur, as well as at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the National Gallery of Kosovo in Pristina, and the Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University in New York. She is currently full professor and head of Studio Image at the Free University of Bozen Faculty of Design and Art.
