Eva Bachmann is a German/British visual artist based in London, working across photography, printmaking and artist books. Raised across several countries in a multilingual environment, her practice explores how place, movement and cultural memory are carried through everyday objects and the built environment.
Beginning with photographic observation and documentation, she examines how identity is shaped by the spaces we inhabit — from vernacular architecture to domestic environments. Her work traces recurring forms and structures in everyday settings, situating them within broader social, political and historical contexts.
Photography forms the starting point of her process, but images frequently extend beyond the two-dimensional surface. Through folding, sequencing, construction and print-based methods, she transforms photographic series into spatial and tactile forms. Artist books play a central role in this approach, allowing lens-based projects to unfold as interactive, sculptural objects — including concertinas, tunnel books, carousel books and small-scale editions.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Eva graduated from Chelsea College of Arts (BA) and the Slade School of Fine Art (MFA). She teaches art and photography in further education.
