Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky (1980 born in Bern, Switzerland) lives and works in Berlin. Her work is influenced by her upbringing on the edge of the forest with its inhabitants as her kin. Using personal and scientific stories of plants she works around the relationship of organisms and the evolutionary history of photosynthesis. She works with analogue photography and participative formats.
Kovacovsky’s artist book ‘Feeding on Light’ was published by Roma Publishing/NL in 2023. Since 2017 she runs ‘Between Us and Nature – A Reading Club’ with Sina Ribak in collaboration with Zabriskie Buchladen für Kultur und Natur. She has shown solo i.e. at Kunstfort Vijfhuizen/NL, Bäckerei/Berlin, and Aargauer Kunsthaus/CH and in group exhibitions i.e. Bärenzwinger/DE, Colomboscope/LK, C/O Berlin/DE, Kunsthall Stavanger/NO. Kovacovsky has a B.F.A. from the Rietveld Academie/NL. She was a guest lecturer at Hochschule für Design Karlsruhe/DE, Rietveld Academie/NL, KASK/BE and KaE Stipendium-HKU/NL. Currently she is attending the Goldrausch KünstlerInnenprojekt in Berlin.
