Emma Adler lives and works in Berlin. She studied Liberal Arts with a focus on Performance and Sculpture in Saarbrücken and Berlin.

Her work has been exhibited in numerous venues, including Zeppelinmuseum Friedrichshafen, Akademie der Künste Berlin, Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, Kunstverein Bremerhaven, and Kunsthaus Dahlem. In 2022, Adler received a working scholarship from Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn, and in 2023, she became a fellow of the Junge Akademie.
At the center of her expansive multimedia installations— which challenge perceived certainties in the relationship between reality and media representation—are fake and conspiratorial narratives, along with the intrinsically linked question of different levels of reality. Her conceptual works highlight the rapid spread of propaganda and populism online, connecting the digital proliferation of conspiracy theories, fascist discourse, and deep fakes with the everyday aesthetics of norming and typologizing. A significant aspect of her work is the blurring boundary between virtual and physical reality in our contemporary post-factual age, a boundary that is increasingly becoming obsolete.

Has truth degenerated into a matter of belief? In Kyoto, Adler will visit sacred places and festivals, as well as engage with an AI priest, exploring the hypothesis of philosopher Jean Baudrillard that the virtual is anything but the opposite of the real.
