Biography
After studying Media Arts at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland in Aarau, Eva Borner developed a distinctive artistic practice at the intersection of installation, video, photography and media art. The notion of the “presence of absence” forms a central thread throughout her work, informing her exploration of perception, memory and reality.
Through photography, video, sound sculptures, text-based works and immersive multimedia installations, she creates environments of strong poetic and emotional intensity. Drawing on both personal experience and contemporary social and political issues, she transforms complex ideas into visual and acoustic spaces. The relationship between technology, artistic language and sensory experience lies at the heart of her practice.
Interdisciplinary collaboration plays a central role in her work. She regularly develops projects with artists from music, film, literature and dance, creating dialogues between image, sound, movement and space.
Her work has been presented in Switzerland as well as internationally – in Europe and Asia – in numerous solo and group exhibitions, at biennials, and in art institutions. She received important inspiration and momentum through studio and residency stays in Shanghai, Paris, Athens, Thessaloniki, and Leipzig.
