. . . . . Eva Stenram is a Swedish British visual artist who lives in Berlin. She studied in London at the Royal College of Art (MA Photography) and the Slade School of Fine Art (BA Fine Art). Stenram's art practice revolves around photography and post-production, investigating the codes, desires and ideologies at play within the construction of the photographic image. In some works, she uses archive material from popular culture and other analogue and digital sources that have typically been or still are in general public circulation. In others, she foregrounds the artist’s process (rather than the refined result) itself. Using a variety of reproduction methods and montage techniques, she displaces their original meaning and lets the work open up new interpretations. Her work is ultimately about being a viewer, a consumer of images. Stenram’s work has been exhibited worldwide, important group exhibitions include the touring exhibition A Handful of Dust, Home Sweet Home at the Rencontres d’Arles, Golden Sunset at Moderna Museet Stockhom and The Lives and Loves of Images - die Bienale für Aktuelle Fotografie in Germany. Solo exhibitions include Cadastral at Fotografisk Center in Copenhagen, New Meridians at Literaturhaus in Berlin and Positions at Siobhan Davies Dance in London. Her work is in the collections of Moderna Museet in Sweden, the Victoria and Albert Museum and Tate Gallery in the UK, and The Norton Museum in Florida, as well as numerous private collections. She has been awarded several prizes for her work, and in 2019 was selected as one of the 100 Heroines of contemporary global photography by the Royal Photographic Society. . . . . . . . . . . |
