Nicole Toferer is an artist based in Vienna. She is former student of Friedl Kubelka school for artistic photography, currently studies Fine Arts at University of Arts, Linz and works in the studio of VALIE EXPORT.
In her artistic practice, she explores the materiality of photography, performance, and sculpture. She works with clay, plaster, wax, latex, silicone, natural materials, in the darkroom, and performatively, among other things. Her works are often interwoven and overlap. She deals with socially critical topics with a focus on feminism, patriarchal and matriarchal structures, self-reflexive and research-based.
