Originally from Austria, Michaela Haider found her expression in photography at an early age. Drawing inspiration for her early works from the fields and forests, streams and rivers of the region she grew up in. After studying chemistry in Graz, Helsinki and Berlin, the scientific perspective provided even deeper insights into the unifying element of her work — the relationship between the human form and nature, and the materialistic aspect of both.
Her images depict staged worlds that pose and explore the question of this relationship from the human perspective.
Haider's works have been exhibited in Austria, Germany, Spain, and Finland.
