Daniela Bergschneider (b. 1986, Germany) is a visual artist based in Bergen, who combines textile and porcelain into sculptures that resemble hybrid organisms. Bergschneider is interested in forms that resist clear classification and that occupy a space between the familiar and the unknown, organic and the constructed, attraction and unease. At the centre of Bergschneider’s practice is an ongoing exploration of material, corporeality, and the concept of “Visual Tactility”: an attempt to create forms that are not only seen but can be physically sensed and imagined in the viewer’s own body.
In 2020 she completed her master’s degree in Fine Art at UiB’s Faculty of Art, Music and Design. She also studied at the University of Paderborn and the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg.
Bergschneider has participated in group exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including the Årsutstillingen of Norske Kunsthåndverkere (2020/21/22/23), KUNST·HÅND·VERK at KODE Museum (2026), One thousand and One islands at Hiro Hiro Art Space and curated Northing Space, Taipei, Taiwan (2026), Open M Art Fair in Hangzhou, China (2025), Beginning, Becoming at Format, Oslo (2025), Pieces by Hint Project in Aarhus (2024), Fiskars Village Art & Design Biennale in Fiskars, Finland (2024), Remnants of the Future at Officinet in Copenhagen (2022), and Hybridia at SOFT Galleri in Oslo (2021).
