Swiss-born Eva Brunner studied Communications (major: Photography 1979-82) at the American College of Rome, Italy. After first jobs as a theatre photographer she started writing plays that were premiered in Rome. In 1987 she won a Writer’s Residency by the Berlin Senate and relocated, working in Berlin as a writer and translator ever since.
In 2005 she returned to photography as a masterclass student with Arno Fischer at the Ostkreuzschule Berlin (2007-2011), followed by workshops with Anders Petersen, Sven Marquardt, Wolfgang Zurborn. Her works have been shown in several single and group exhibitions throughout Europe.
In her works Eva depicts the various layers of reality and their underlying narrative structures – their disruptions and fragmentations. She is intrigued with the complexity of identity („Being Barbara“) and the intricacies of nature within a world of artificiality („No escape from paradise“).
