ZURICH.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber announced the representation of Sandra Mujinga alongside Croy Nielsen, Vienna, and The Approach, London.
Working across installation, sculpture, performance, text, and digital media, Mujinga explores shifting economies of visibility and opacity, self-representation, and the politics of surveillance. Her work is deeply invested in traces and concealment, what lingers, haunts from history, or slips away, and in how bodies are remembered. Often drawing from fossils and science fiction, she speculates on creatures from the past and the future, while conjuring ghostly figures that resist fixed identities. Informed by post-human theory and the afterlives of colonialism, Mujinga envisions alternative worlds where technology, humans, and other beings merge in speculative and political acts of becoming.
Mujinga's solo exhibition Skin to Skin is currently on view at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam until January 11, 2026. In December 2025, she will participate in the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in Kochi, India. In January 2026, her most comprehensive solo exhibition to date will open at the Belvedere in Vienna.
I am thrilled to welcome Sandra to our gallery! I greatly admire how she challenges and broadens our understanding of past, present, and future bodies through her highly versatile multimedia practice. Amid the ongoing cultural discourse around identities and technology, it is critical thinkers and artistic visionaries like Sandra who are paving the way ahead with clarity and power. I am very excited for our upcoming collaborations in 2026 and beyond. Eva Presenhuber
