Frauke Eigen (born 1969 in Aurich, West Germany) is a German photographer, photojournalist and artist.
In 2011–12, Fundstücke Kosovo featured in Imperial War Museum London's Women War Artists exhibition. Kathleen Palmer, Head of Art at the Imperial War Museum, commented that:
"this focus upon their personal possessions brings to life the people who had been killed. Since the images themselves are not horrific and graphic, they allow the viewer to relate to the horror in a different way.... They allow us to engage with the horror more immediately."
Fundstücke Kosovo was later published as an edition of ten sets of fourteen photographs. One set was acquired by the Imperial War Museum, and another by the National Gallery of Canada.
Eigen's photographs were later used as evidence by the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.
Other war photography
As of 2011, Eigen had recently completed a photographic project in Afghanistan.
