Anna´s artwork Under the Bed of this Shadow investigates the relation between natural formations and the human search for meaningful and metaphorical connections.
"The rocks seems either to have fallen down or been thrown out in the ordered architecture. They might be remains of a past event or read as an augur for a possible future. The work investigates a translation from actual volcanic formations into a sculptural interpretation of the mineral logic. By this it further unveils the complex relation between nature’s own agency, emotional projection and the unpredictable and unknowable."
And: how has in been to exhibit at Handels?
Open for all. A wrap will be served.
Anna Heymowska (1980) is a versatile Swedish artist and scenographer who explores the interconnectedness of natural phenomena, sensuousness, and human experience through various disciplines, including visual arts, stage design, and conceptual art. Her work often combines elements of fragility, transformation, and the passage of time, encouraging viewers to reflect on their place in the world and the forces that shape their existence. Heymowska's artistic practice is characterized by her attention to materials and processes that highlight the tension between creation and destruction. She has a long experience with large scale and site-specific formats and her work often combine both conceptual, performative and perceptual elements. She has studied at The Royal Institute of Art (Mejan) in Stockholm and Royal Danish Academy and is currently a Ph.D. Candidate at Uniarts.
