Stefanie Moshammer (b. 1988, Vienna) is a visual artist whose hybrid practice involves various media, always with the attempt to form an internalised repertoire of memories and to formulate them to the outside. Besides the photographic image, she incorporates pre-existing material, textile elements and moving images. Her variant bodies of work explore the mystery of the human condition, as well as the mythology of people and places, while her visual language is steeped in subtext and stories left unseen.
After graduating in Textile Design at the Fashion School Vienna, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design & Photography at University of Art and Design in Linz and she attended the BA in Advanced Visual Storytelling at the Danish School of Media and Journalism. She also did a one-year study of Social and Cultural Anthropology.
Stefanie Moshammer is the author of “Vegas and She” (Fotohof edition, 2014), “Land of Black Milk” (Skinnerboox, 2017), “Not just your face honey” (Spector Books & C/O Berlin, 2018). She received numerous awards and prizes, among others the C/O Berlin Talent Award, Outstanding Artist Award from the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts and Culture, Images Vevey Broncolor Prize, Wallpaper New Generation Prize. Her work has been published in various print & online publications, such as i-D, art – Das Kunstmagazin, Zeit Magazin, M Le magazine du Monde, Wallpaper Magazine, Monopol, Harper‘s Bazaar, Numéro, DAZED & many more. Her work has been exhibited throughout galleries, museums and fairs around Europe, the US and China, among others at: Foam Photography Museum Amsterdam, C/O Berlin, Museum of Applied Arts Vienna, Photo London Somerset House, Webber Gallery London, Red Hook Labs New York, Fotografiska New York.
