I am a London-based visual artist. In my work, I explore identity, displacement, and migration by comparing architecture, language, and collections through various mediums such as installations, photography, printmaking, painting, and book art.
In my photographic series, I often juxtapose subtle similarities of vernacular architecture. Like a patchwork from a quilt, a pattern of urban fabric emerges, creating a wider link to historical, philosophical, and anthropological transformation. By depicting certain qualities of a place, I aim to convey a multi-layered complexity of identity intertwined with language and cultural heritage.
I also work as an educator, teaching art and photography in Further Education and community institutions.

Biography
Eva Bachmann is an award-winning, lens-based artist. She recently graduated with distinction from the Slade School of Art’s MFA Fine Art Media programme.
Her practice centres around exploring the socio-geographical impact on identity, language, and cultural heritage. Bachmann seeks to depict specific qualities of a location to convey its impact on our narrative and understanding of ourselves.
With her work, Bachmann intertwines personal and universal concepts, encouraging viewers to reflect on their connections to their own identity and heritage.
Bachmann's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including the V&A's Canon Gallery and The Biennale in Moscow, as well as various galleries across Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK.
In addition to her artistic practice, Bachmann is dedicated to education, teaching art and photography in further education and outreach initiatives with a particular focus on marginalised groups.
Bachmann lives and works in London.
