Mafalda Rakoš

Mafalda Rakoš lives and works between Vienna and Amsterdam. Triggered by the ethical conflict around portraying and representing others, she develops collaborative approaches to create long-term projects in the intersection of art, anthropology and documentary photography, with a strong emphasis on dialogue and mutual decision-making. She has been working with females and males affected by eating disorders since 2013. Her work has been nominated and honored several times at international awards and was exhibited in museums such as the Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam, Benaki Museum, Athens and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, as well as shown outside an art context at conferences on eating disorders or at the General Hospital in Vienna.
