ANNA C.E.E.H. is a Russian-born, Vienna-based artist and independent curator who has been active in the international arts scene for over 15 years. Her work encompasses DIY printmaking techniques, self-portrait photography, video, screenwriting, electronic music, and related applied research. Her artistic vocabulary is continually being redefined and expanded.
In her artistic practice, Anna C.E.E.H. expands her print work through post-feminist perspectives, using her own body as a biopolitical entity, acting both as model and artist, object and subject. Her video work uses found footage, self-filmed sequences, and electronic beats, creating a pseudo-narrative structure without conventional endpoints, text, or spoken word. Her videos reference the visual language of Sergei Eisenstein, Chris Marker, and Jonas Mekas, allowing for a poetic reinterpretation of footage through editing and rhythm.
In her most recent work, she produces iPhone-based digital over-paintings, aesthetically referencing Arnulf Rainer’s work, using photographic found footage from Instagram.
Collaborations:
- Scriptwriting Collaboration: Since 2022, Anna C.E.E.H. has been involved in writing movie scripts alongside Elena Tikhonova. This collaboration marks an expansion of her creative output into the realm of narrative filmmaking, blending her visual art background with storytelling.
- Artistic Collaborations: As an independent curator and artist, she has worked with notable figures in the art world. Her collaborations include artists like Marina Abramović, VALIE EXPORT, and Carolee Schneemann. These partnerships have likely enriched her work with varied influences and have placed her within a significant dialogue in contemporary art.
- Music and Video Projects: Her involvement with the label Laton, alongside Franz Pomassl, suggests collaborative efforts in music and video art. Here, she combines her video work with electronic beats, creating pieces that explore narrative without conventional structure, focusing instead on visual and rhythmic poetry. This collaboration extends her artistic practice into multimedia, reflecting on themes like memory and time through a unique visual language.
- Post-Feminist Perspectives: Through her print work, Anna C.E.E.H. engages with post-feminist themes, using her own body as a subject in her art, which could involve collaborative performances or installations where the line between artist and subject blurs, thereby critiquing and exploring biopolitical concepts.
- Artistic Influence and Collaboration with Media: Her work in DIY prints, where she mixes her photographs with media images, indicates a collaboration with the broader cultural narrative and mass media, akin to how Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol interacted with their environments and media. This approach not only shows her engagement with contemporary issues but also her method of dialogue with historical art practices.
