Rahel Zoller is a London based artist and book arts and design specialist and educator.
Her work questions the concept of what a book is by subverting, embracing, and interrogating the form and materiality of the book itself. Whilst also considering the interaction between user, creator and society. Since October 2015, Rahel has been a member of ABC (Artists’ Books Cooperative)
Her works have been published and exhibited internationally and are held in a number of collections such as the MoMA Artists' Books collection in New York, Artists' Books Tate Library Collection, the Booklet Library in Tokyo, the Museum of the Manuscripts of Mont-Saint-Michel in France, the Centre for Artists’ Publications in Weserburg Bremen Germany and at the archive at MACBA in Barcelona, Spain.
