Karina Nimmerfall is a visual artist whose work interweaves sculptural installation and language with various forms of photographic, computer-generated or moving imagery. Addressing the historicity of buildings and urban structures, as well as their representations within mediated imagery and the archive, she often confronts sections of a historical past with our present, blending documentary and speculative strategies that create various real and imagined time-space constellations. In this process, however, the imaginary is understood not as a contrast to reality, but as something that emerges in the interstices and becomes part of our lived world.

Karina Nimmerfall studied Visual Arts at the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg and Art History at the University of Vienna. She is a recipient of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach-Foundation Contemporary German Photography Grant (2018), and was awarded several fellowships such as at the Tokyo and London Studio of the Federal Ministry for Arts Austria (2023 and 2015), the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris (2007) and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture in Los Angeles (2002), amongst others. She has exhibited internationally including at Deichtorhallen, Hamburg; Camera Austria, Graz; MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles; Kunsthaus Graz; Kunsthalle Mainz; BAWAG Contemporary, Vienna; Kasseler Kunstverein; AR/GE Kunst, Bolzano; Göteborgs Konsthall and Landesgalerie Linz (now Francisco Carolinum).
