Kalinka Gieseler is an artist and photographer working at the intersection of photography, collage, and spatial installation. She studied Fine Arts at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig. Central to her practice is the seductive power of commercial imagery and its role in shaping class, luxury, and desire.
Her work has been supported by national and international residencies and grants, including the Jan van Eyck Academy (Maastricht), DAAD Los Angeles, Stiftung Kunstfonds, and the Goethe-Institut China. She has received the Aenne Biermann Prize for Photography and the Marianne Brandt Prize, among others.
Gieseler’s work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions internationally, with recent solo projects including Panic in the Jewel Case (Haus 1, Berlin), Not Eccentric Keynote Samtricity (Goethe-Institut, Beijing), and Cool I–III (Los Angeles), as well as group exhibitions at Künstlerhaus Dortmund, Galerie Beck & Eggeling (Düsseldorf), and Grassimuseum Leipzig.
She is also active in teaching and research, investigating the translation of images into space, the politics of representation, and the mediation of desire, class, and luxury in contemporary visual culture.
