Sophie Dvořák lives and works in Vienna, Austria.
In an artistic practice spanning conceptual drawing, collage, sculpture and collecting, Dvořák is dealing with questions referring to space and territories and their representational codes, history and perception. She creates artworks and installative arrangements representing abstract-fictitious illustrations of world(s) and knowledge and interpretations of history and spatial relations.
