Information
About
Stefanie Moshammer is an Austrian artist whose work spans applied and artistic photography, moving image, installations, and book publishing.
Blending personal experience with social observation, she creates visual narratives where surreal and subjective elements intertwine. Her practice investigates the fragile zone between desire and destruction that shapes human experience. Working with contrasts of rawness and intimacy, tension and tenderness, she traces how environments and relationships leave their mark on us.
In her collaborative work with brands and magazines, Moshammer creates bold, concept-driven visual stories that explore psychological and performative aspects, often integrating sculptural and set-based elements. Her clients include RIMOWA, Louis Vuitton, Belmond, Fendi, Suicoke, Polar, and publications such as Atmos, Harper’s Bazaar, Zeit Magazin, Wallpaper, and Another Man.
After studying Textile Design at the Fashion School Vienna, Stefanie Moshammer earned a BA in Graphic Design & Photography at the University of Art and Design Linz and attended the BA in Advanced Visual Storytelling at the Danish School of Media and Journalism. She also completed a one-year study in Social and Cultural Anthropology.
Moshammer is the author of six books and has received numerous awards and honors. Her work has been exhibited internationally across galleries and museums in Europe, the US, and Asia.
