Life and work

Meckseper studied at Berlin University of the Arts in Berlin from 1986–1990, and completed her MFA at the California Institute of the Arts in 1992.[1]

Meckseper, also publisher of the FAT Magazine, addresses questions about the politics of power and the propagation of political ideas as commodity.[2] When the Bush administration began gearing up for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, she traveled around the world filming and photographing demonstrations against the war.[3]
