Eve Fairhall is a multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, working across video, sound, glass, painting and installation. Her practice examines paranoia as both subject and methodology, tracing how suspicion, control, and hypervigilance shape perception and self-awareness. Through voice, text, and image, she explores the slippages where meaning fractures and re-forms - revealing the psychological and performative dynamics of power.
She is currently completing Honours in Fine Art at Monash University, where her research draws on Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s writing on reparative reading and the legal framework of the Right to Be Forgotten (EU). Eve holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the ANU School of Art and Design and has studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.
