Muralove Submission | Daniel Zollinger & Rachel Zollinger

Brother-sister artist duo Daniel and Rachel Zollinger create projects about place, ecologies, and human and non-human communities. Through their collaborative work, they seek to illuminate interconnections between social, cultural, and environmental aspects of place. Their work has taken many forms, including temporary, community-built murals, site-specific installations, photography, and film.

Daniel is a cinematographer and photographer. He received his BFA in Photography from the University of New Mexico, and started his career in photojournalism before expanding to film. His work has been recognized by International Photography Awards and Associated Press Managing Editors, and featured at the Toronto International Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, Albuquerque Film and Media Experience, and Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, among others.

Rachel is a visual artist, educator and scholar. She holds a BFA in Sculpture and Drawing, a MFA in Interdisciplinary Art, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Art and Visual Culture Education. Her practice and research focuses on art as a departure point for science and environmental education. Her artwork and writing has been featured nationally, and recently commissioned by Bernalillo County, the City of Albuquerque, and the Art & Ecology department at the University of New Mexico.
