Born and raised in Germany, Birthe moved to Canada in 2005 after receiving her MFA from the University of Essen in Communication Design and Photography.
Birthe’s art practice explores the relationship between memory and identity, with a special interest in the topic of female identity and its representation in our society. Her main focus is photography but she also utilizes other art forms like installation, sculpture and collage to investigate to what degree our complex identities can be visualized.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, in both solo and group shows, and is featured in many private and public collections such as the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago and the Museum of Applied Arts in Gera, Germany.
Birthe's project The Idea of North won the Critical Mass Book Award 2009, and was published as a monograph in 2011. Her most recent work, Abendlied, received the Edward Burtynsky Grant in 2018 and was published in April 2019. Birthe is a member of the Piece of Cake Project.

PHOT 316: Studio Photography
In this course, still life and portraiture provide the structure to explore and comment on evolving issues in art and society. Students will be given a thorough grounding in the principles of lighting, employing both tungsten light and studio electronic flash systems. Safety and care of equipment will be stressed. Rather than building sets, students will be encouraged to both illuminate their subjects effectively and create environments for them to exist in using only light, shadow, and reflections to do so. Black and white and colour film, and digital photography will be used during this course. Integral to this course is the study of lighting as it has been employed by artists and photographers throughout history, up to the present day.
