Winner GRA Awards 2012

Applied Arts

The Jury reports:

The work of Anna combines thorough research and elegant simplicity in a visually powerful installation. It is an experience which relates directly to the body. As one enters the installation, which is placed in a corridor-like space, the white elastic threads of which it is made slowly close in. In order to move on, the viewer is invited to create space by moving apart the elastics with use of the hands, arms, legs and feet. In this way, the surrounding touches in a literal way upon the physical space the body requires. It succeeds in appealing to all senses. The work’s poetry lies in it being an architectural experience which renders space- an intangible notion as such- tangible.
