About Nina Kirste

In her work, the artist Nina Kirste depicts situations that distinctly manifest her own perspective. Rather than the object itself, her subject is what she perceives within. The viewer is invited to immerse themselves in the ambiance of her photographs.

Born in 1990 in Mainburg, Bavaria, she now lives and works in Munich. Kirste graduated from the University of Applied Sciences in Munich in 2018 with a Master of Arts degree in architecture. After several years of working for renowned architectural firms, Nina founded her own practice and dedicated herself entirely to artist photography.

Her analogue photographs are mostly taken while travelling and during extended stays abroad, helping to develop the characteristic atmosphere evident in her work. Encounters with the unknown provide the impetus for Nina’s quiet excerpt-like compositions.
