Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

It was then when I first began to admire her witty humor and her relaxed image making routine. Since her diploma in 2005 she mostly works with groups of all walks of life, cavalrymen, students, athletes, factory workers or farmers. A playful cross-breeding of leaden political and/or economical topics with symbolic stress relief practices characterize her series and video works. Winterwork is something we already disconnected from in our commercialized and industrialized urban lives. It used to be a relaxing social activity, a stage to share and maintain cultural traditions, reckoning of the year past, and preparation for the coming season. In the series above Anna cooperated with office staff to revive the collective memory of rural winterwork. You can find Anna's website here and some of her videos HERE.
