Eva Bachmann is a German / British interdisciplinary artist based in London, working across photography, printmaking, and sculptural book structures. Raised across several countries, her practice explores how place, displacement, and architecture shape identity.
Working at the intersection of anthropology, she compares patterns in the built environment to examine how the characteristics of specific places form who we are. Her process begins with photographic observation of vernacular architecture and domestic settings, situating these spaces within broader social, political, and historical contexts.
While photography forms the starting point of her process, the images frequently extend beyond the two-dimensional surface. Focusing on the materiality of physical surfaces and textures, she transforms photographic series into spatial, tactile forms to evoke their embedded histories. Artist books play a central role in this approach. By integrating architectural forms into her physical bindings, she utilizes the inherent three-dimensional nature of the book format to push lens-based projects into interactive photo-sculptures.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Eva completed her MFA at the Slade School of Fine Art and holds a BA from Chelsea College of Arts. Alongside her studio practice, she teaches photography and visual arts in further education and community settings.
