CV

SONNHILD ESSL

was born in Baiersbronn/Germany in 1989 and grew up in Neuberg an der Mürz, Styria/Austria. She lives and works in Linz.

In my work, I deal with material, the unnoticed and
ever-present – „the discarded“. I am interested in the
transience and worthlessness of materials that form our everyday environment and the power relations that materials reflect to us.
