Jeanne Szilit lives and works in Vienna, Austria. She has studied painting, literature, philosophy and film. Her works are sold in high-end auctions and are represented in important private collections and museums (Klimt Foundation, Museum of Modern Art Vienna, Collection III Museum Leopold Vienna).

Her work has also been shown at international art fairs such as ART BEJING, China, ROMA CONTEMPORARY, Italy, SCOPE MIAMI BEACH, USA, ART COLOGNE, Cologne, ART AUSTRIA, PARIS PHOTO, Grand Palais, and AIPAD New York City.

Although Jeanne Szilit started out as a painter, she has also worked intensively with photography, especially since her film studies. In 2008 she began to combine these three different disciplines in a digital synthesis. In the process, she developed her own experimental form of photomanipulation.

"I work with the imaginary archives of our collective visual memory. I understand each photograph - apart from its direct content - as an imaginary field of experimentation in which unconscious images are hidden."
