Sam Evans is a visual artist specialising in photography, video and installation. She was born in the Harz Mountains, Germany in 1995 and studied Fine Arts and Art Education at HBK Braunschweig and Kyoto Seika University. In her artistic practice, she explores hidden narratives, interstitial spaces and the interplay between people, nature and memory.

​

She studies artefacts, rituals, memories, imaginary constructs and the environment. Cycles, protective mechanisms, human rawness and the significance of places play a central role in her work. The works consider the human approach to identity and diversity and translate this process into the language of the biological diversity of flora and fauna. Of particular importance here is not only the way humans interact with nature, but also with queerness and neurodiversity. 

​

Through planning and staging, the images are intended to appear abstruse and otherworldly as well as authentic. In order to expand the concept of photography, she experiments with various analogue techniques, post-colouring methods and alternative and installative presentation options. She often combines other media such as painting and sculpture with her photographs in order to remove their reference to reality and instead place them in their own imaginary cosmos and context.
