Carolin Müller (b. 1989, Germany) is an artist and scholar whose work reimagines printmaking as a space of convergence between material, body, and language. She holds degrees in Art Education (BA/MA, TU Dresden), Film Studies (MA), and German Studies (PhD, The Ohio State University), and studied printmaking under Michael Loderstedt and Sergio Soave in the U.S. Her practice explores how meaning is inscribed through gesture, rhythm, and touch, working with reclaimed materials such as aluminum cans and cardboard to register traces of bodily movement, memory, and sound. Müller's work engages with questions of remembrance, sensory perception, and spatial storytelling—responding to histories of conflict and transformation through tactile, collaborative processes.
Her prints and installations have been shown in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, the U.S., Israel/Palestine, with recent exhibitions at space_onbez in Busan, South Korea and the Artists Studios/Art Cube in Jerusalem. She leads workshops on alternative modes of printmaking and received a Goethe-Institut project grant (2024) for community-based work as part of her ongoing project body.motion.etch. She has further been invited to international residencies focusing on water and bodily memory in Busan (South Korea), Athens (Greece) and Vermont (USA), awarded with a fellowship by the Vermont Studio Center.
