Michael Bachhofer is best known for his ultra-high resolution, large-format photographs, each consisting of tens of thousands of individual photos, often taken through the microscope. As part of his studies in Art&Science at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, he spent a year at the Tokyo University of the Arts, where he focused on artistic anatomy and photography.

Bachhofer works in the area between art and science, especially in the field of participatory art and public art. His works have been shown in some of the major museums in Vienna, at international art festivals such as the Ostrale, the Klanglicht Festival in Graz and the NordArt, as well as in magazines such as European Photography.

He received the annual fine arts scholarship from the State of Carinthia in 2018, as well as several project grants from the Federal Chancellery, State of Carinthia and Vienna Municipality. In 2018, Bachhofer was an invited artist at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
