Hanna Stiegeler
*1985, Germany
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany
Biography
Hanna Stiegeler’s practice uses images, both found and produced, to disect visual culture and its connections to commerce, history, and femininity. Appropriating imagery from commercial photography and public archives while also borrowing their language for self-produced images, Stiegeler constructs her screenprints through a manual and deliberately imprecise process. The resulting artworks, unique versions of otherwise reproducible images, hint and tease the latent and veiled narratives, labors, and contradictions of their source materials.
Stiegeler (*1985, Germany) lives and works in Berlin. Her second solo exhibition at the gallery will take place in 2026, as will her her first institutional solo exhibition at E-Werk Freiburg. Her work has also been included in group exhibitions at Eigen+Art, Galerie Thomas Schulte, Gems, and the Goethe Institut Paris. Stiegeler received an MFA from the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig in 2019.
