Biography

Hannah Schemel, born in Bühl in 1994, studied communication design with a focus on photography at Mannheim University of Applied Sciences. After completing her studies, she began working as an artist in 2017 and has since exhibited her work in galleries and museums. In 2020, she was awarded the Art Prize of the City of Mannheim and the Heinrich Vetter Foundation. The desire to deepen her theoretical knowledge brought her to Milan in 2023, where she completed her master's degree in photography at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti. She lives and works in Enzklösterle (Black Forest), where her studio is located, and in Milan.

Hannah Schemel has been exploring the concept of landscape since the beginning of her work. She sees landscapes as an act of creation that takes place in the minds of the observers, rather than on the outside. Shaped by their own memories, dreams, experiences and fears.

As part of her current research work, she is looking at the subject of transgenerational trauma in an attempt to better understand her own inner landscape. The subject of this research includes the concept of the epigenetic landscape, collective memories, traces of the Second World War and other aspects.
