Biography

Eva Chapkin is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of individuality, memory, and the materiality of the tangible world. Working across photography, mixed media, installation and video, she investigates disappearance as a personal condition and the shifting relationship between humans and nature. Her work reflects on the passage of time, the politics of care, and the self as both document and performer, often through gestures that move between touch, body and object. Alongside her visual practice, she writes plays, poems and short narratives that extend her interest in image-making, unfolding like moving images projected onto a white wall.

 

Eva Chapkin studied Photography and Video at the National University of Arts in Bucharest (BA, 2021) and completed her Master's degree in Photography & Society at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), The Hague (MA, 2024).

 

Her recent exhibitions include the international solo show To see, to hear and to never leave at Il Meccanico (2024), as well as international group exhibitions such as push pull shift at Živi Atelje DK (2025), Going ON at Hochschule Bielefeld, Fachbereich Gestaltung (2024), and Freies Kino: Transitions / Transformations at Künstlerhaus Wien (2023).
