Counter Narratives of Flight and Migration

Eva Leitolf is an artist, tenured full professor, head of Studio Image and tutor for gender equity at unibz. Critical examination of the practices of image production and contextualisation is a central thread running through all of her work, which explores contested societal phenomena such as colonialism, racism and migration. Leitolf's work often combines photography with textual elements – from police reports and information researched from a wide range of sources to personal notes. Adopting a conceptual approach, Leitolf visualises concrete conflicts by evaluating the absent, while at all times questioning the media she works with.

She earned her MFA at the California Institute of the Arts with Allan Sekula and held a professorship at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art & Design.
