Bio/Statement:
Manuela Eichner is a multifaceted visual artist, educator, and curator. Her multifaceted practice encompasses everything from videos and performances to collaborative workshops, as well as the development of illustrations, installations, and murals. In these different areas, she systematically employs principles of collage, rupture, and the scrambling of the spatial, contextual, and semantic unity of images from diverse sources. Occupying and transforming art spaces through immersive practices, transcending the limits of mediums and expanding formats until they coincide with the entire space, is the strategy used by Manuela Eichner in her sensory and curatorial installations. Offering a collective experience challenges the viewer and destabilizes their beliefs about body, space, and nature.
Manuela has participated in a variety of programs worldwide, such as Rumos Itaú Cultural in São Paulo (BR), Utropic in Poznań (PL), ZK/U Center for Art and Urbanistics in Berlin (DE), AnnexB in New York (USA), Fikra Graphic Design Biennial in Sharjah (UAE), IASPIS Residency in Malmö (SE), CND Centre National de la Danse in Paris (FR) and Vão do MASP in São Paulo (BR).
