Viktoria Schmid

ABOUT

Viktoria Schmid works at the interface of the cinematic and exhibition space. Her chosen mediums of film, video, sculpture and photography act as co-authors and enter into a dialogue with the content. Her work focuses on historical image-making processes, the potential for representing landscape and nature and the historical development of cinema. Schmid is interested in perception and influencing viewers’ everyday ways of seeing.
