Maria Eichhorn

She is best known for site-specific works and installations that investigate political and economic systems, often revealing their intrinsic absurdity or the extent to which we normalize their complex codes and networks.

Since the late 1980s, her work has explored the relationship between the symbolic and the real, between the practice of art and direct actions geared towards positive changes in personal life, social relations and the human and natural environments.

[4] She has exhibited since the late 1980s, including shows in Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Barcelona, Warsaw, Zurich and Tokyo.

Her work has spanned a variety of genres and media from wall texts to artist books, staged events to interviews, broad-ranging symposia to public billboards, film and video, as well as institutions and provenance research.

[9][10][11] Eichhorn's ambitious, large-scale projects often take on the mechanics of legal, social and financial processes, making permanent interventions that evolve over time.
