Eva Schlegel: Exploring Art Through Photography

Eva Schlegel was born in 1960, in Hall, Tirol. Marking the beginning of her journey as an artist, she attended the Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst (University of Applied Arts) in Vienna, benefiting greatly from the tutelage of Oswald Oberhuber (1979–1985). It was during this period that her multifaceted skills blossomed and she delved into various modes of expression. From 1997 to 2006, she imparted her wisdom as a university professor for art and photography at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.

Her artistic focus, primarily through the medium of photography, centers around the potential for aestheticism found in the ordinary, the mundane, and the intimate yet oft-overlooked aspects of our daily lives. Through delicate manipulations, erasures, blurrings, and omissions, these captured moments are elevated to the realms of art.

In 1995, she was a featured artist in the Venice Biennale, under the commissioner Peter Weibel. Her work adorned the facade of the exhibition building with a fusion of text and imagery. In 2011, she was honored with the title of commissioner for the Austrian contribution to the 54th Venice Biennale.

In 2014, Schlegel was commissioned to design the glass windows of the new roof structure in Vienna’s Museum Quarter, the MQ-Libelle. The following year, she was tasked with revamping the front page of the Austrian newspaper Die Presse. In April of the same year, her steel pyramid memorial titled “369 weeks,” was unveiled at the Vienna Regional Criminal Court to commemorate over 1,200 judicial victims of the National Socialist regime. As a light installation on the exterior wall of the court, it represents the 369 weeks of Nazi rule in Vienna.

Some of her recent exhibitions include “In the now: Gender and Nation in Europe” at LACMA in Los Angeles, USA (2022) featuring selections from the Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl Photography Collection, and an exhibition at the Museum Hartberg (2022).
