Anka Manshusen
In her works, Anka Manshusen is looking for a new definition of matter - a matter which does not devote itself to what is present, but rather reveals what is hidden behind it. The artist deals in a very individual way with the medium of photography, by using it not to depict a reality found in the outside, but rather to create realities freed from imagery.
Starting from the real object in front of the studiocamera, she looks for the invisible, which is the basis of what is visible. So she converts what is no longer depicted but abstracted. These can be extracted color elements, light-dark contrasts or the arrangement of color pigments. In the resulting abstract images of light, matter becomes a manifestation of motion, which, in turn, propagates intuitive vibrations.
