Böhm, Karin / Blaschitz, Edith
Karin Böhm completed a Master’s program in visual studies at the University for Continuing Education Krems and a fotoK course in art photography in Vienna. She was the recipient of stipends for art photography in Rome and Paris. Her work has been shown in national and international exhibitions. Her intention with the visual-textual mosaic on Stalag XVII B was to entangle her own artistic practice with historical research in order to recontextualize complex topics and to make them visible.
