Anna Siggelkow

Anna Siggelkow’s work oscillates between the figurative and the abstract, whereby her current work increasingly uses an abstract mode of expression. In doing so, she increasingly leaves the medium of photography and turns to the image in general, which she expresses in a cross-media way. The artist also enjoys playing with two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces, like taking a two-dimensional image and turning it into a three-dimensional installation. It is in this way that she explores everyday things, history, places, preceded by reflections on philosophical and existential issues. She believes human lives are placed between the two-dimensional world and the three-dimensional one. Furthermore, Siggelkow’s works are marked by a rather distinct aesthetics. They are somehow distant and cool, although they may be truly loud manifestos. Her rebellious intentions are careful, under the radar, quiet. As an artist, she questions both the cult of science and the desire for romanticism, as they produce expectations in people’s lives that are often not met.
