About

Bio Veronika Geiger (DK/CH)

In her work Veronika Geiger frequently challenges conventional photographic practices, joining scientists on field trips to specific natural environments, incorporating the geological perspective into her work. She uses image-making as an exploration of photography, pushing the boundaries of the representation of landscape in visual art.

 

In ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit hinterfragt Veronika Geiger häufig konventionelle fotografische Praktiken, in dem sie Wissenschaftler auf Exkursionen begleitet und die geologische Perspektive in ihr Werk einbezieht. Durch ihren investigativen Zugang zur Bildgestaltung untersucht sie das Medium der Fotografie und erweitert dabei die Grenzen der Landschaftsdarstellung in der Kunst.
