Salome Erni, born in Switzerland in 2001 and based in the Netherlands, is a research-based visual artist who explores narratives and collective narrations. Conversations, collaborations and research intertwine in her work that takes shape in (video) essays, books and exhibitions. Often, she takes found imagery as a starting point to investigate how the individual relates to larger socio-political power relations and hegemonic narrations. Thereby, she understands her work as explicitly political.

Next to her art practice she works as a curator for an artist-run space. Earlier professional experiences include multiple years of journalistic work and project coordination for a museum.
