Claudia Pilsl is a photographer and media artist based in Bristol and Vienna. She creates installations and projection works and engages diverse audiences in and beyond the gallery space. With her practice she examines the perception of the photographic/filmic frame within a socio-cultural context. In particular she is interested in urban living and migration and in how agency can make a difference. She believes that art instigates change and that participatory works are empowering both to individuals and communities. Her work is included in contemporary art collections such as the Museum of modern Art Vienna, Kestner Gesellschaft Hannover, the DG Bank Collection, the Art Collection of Upper Austria, SK Stiftung Cologne, and the Photo Collection Austria. She won two major fellowships (Arts Council Austria, City of Bremen), the Prize for Visual Art of Upper Austria, and a Research Fellowship at Southampton Institute. In 2021 she was awarded a DYCP grant from Arts Council England.
