Nadia Lichtig

Nadia Lichtig (born 1973) is an artist currently living in the South of France. In her multilayered work, voice is transposed into various media including painting, print, sculpture, photography, performance, soundscape and song. A monograph on Lichtig's work, Pictures of Nothing, was published by Kerber Verlag in 2014.

Early life and education Lichtig was born in 1973 in Munich, Germany; her parents were of Czech and Serb descent. Lichtig studied at the University of the Arts Paris.

Work In her works, each medium approached not as a field to be mastered, but as a source of possibilities to question our ability to decipher the present.
