Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky is an artist based in Berlin. She grew up in the hills of Emmental in Switzerland surrounded by nature with the forest and its inhabitants as her kin. She remembers tasting the seasons by eating the fresh green shoots of leaves in spring, and the smell of the mushrooms in fall. This deep connection and the different tastes of various plants have become a central theme within her work. Using cultural, scientific and personal stories she works with plant specimens experimenting with analogue photography. Her artist book Feeding on Light was published by Roma Publications / NL in the fall of 2023. Since 2017 she runs Between Us and Nature – A Reading Club together with Sina Ribak in collaboration with Zabriskie Buchladen für Kultur und Natur in Berlin. She has shown solo i.e. at Kunstfort Vijfhuizen / NL and Aargauer Kunsthaus / CH and group exhibitions i.e. Bärenzwinger / DE, Colomboscope / LK, C/O Berlin / DE, Kunsthall Stavanger / NO and Kunsthalle Basel / CH. Kovacovsky has a B.F.A. from the Rietveld Academie / NL. She has i.e. guest lectured 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. From September 2024 she will conduct the two year research project Photosynthetic Cookbook within the Art & Ecology research group at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerpen.
