Eva Schneuwly is a Zurich-based visual artist, scenographer and producer with a background in architecture. Her practice explores the spatial and political dynamics of (un)built environments through film, installation, and scenography, often in collaborative and research-driven contexts.
In 2025, she received the Talent Award by SwissRe for the sound installation PARASIT, developed with Simon Jeger and Jonatan Bischof. Her recent work has been presented in collaboration with institutions including Grünstadt Zürich, EPFL Lausanne, Zurich Design Biennale, Bone Performance Festival, Kontextur Podcast Festival, and Fri-Son Fribourg.
She currently teaches at ETH Zurich and develops independent projects as part of the Zurich-based collective Kollektiv Chroma.
