Ani Schulze
Ani Schulze’s (*1982) works evolve juxtapositions of different times – like an archaeology of the future they explore our changing relationship to the natural world, the advance of technological control and the impact of modern utopias.
By interweaving films, drawings, sculptures and lecture performances in installations she creates visual worlds in which history and stories are not told in a conventional manner, but rather encircled in dreamlike, psychedelic images. For example, abandoned architectural structures or cultivated landscapes are scanned by means of a camera and then slowly revealed in her films in the form of rhythmic sequences. These visually powerful compositions straddle and collapse states between artificial and real, truth and fiction, interior and exterior, dead and alive, stillstand and movement.
