WIEBKE ELZEL & JANA MÜLLER
Wiebke Elzel, born in Hanover in 1977, studied photography at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig from 1999 to 2006, gaining her diploma under Timm Rautert. She then began her post-graduate studies under Peter Piller, graduating in 2009. She has worked for over twelve years with Jana Müller, born in 1977 in Halle/Saale, who also studied photography with Timm Rautert at the Academy of Visual Arts from 1999 to 2006.
Both artists continue to work on collaborative photographic series alongside their own individual projects. The artists show their work at exhibitions in Germany and abroad, in places such as the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, the Museum der Bildenden Künste in Leipzig, the Vienna Fotogalerie and the Rostock Kunsthalle. Numerous grants, including travel grants from DAAD, have taken them to cities such as Venice and Banja Luka, where they developed and presented work based on these locations.
