(Graz, Austria)
With a literature and design education, Anaïs Horn graduated from Friedl Kubelka School for Fine Art Photography, Vienna, in 2015. Horn’s practice creates intimate, often site-specific settings in which highly personal narratives —may they be autobiographical, explore female coming-of-age and rites of passage or reflect on the biographies of historical (female) figures— evolve into general reflections on contemporary life and how memories and (her)story/stories reverberate in objects and spaces.
Her work intertwines photography, moving images and sound, text, drawing and painting with the aim of being poetic and precise at the same time. Her images take shape by exploring surfaces and objects, and they frequently unfold into spatial installations and artist‘s books. Next to personal narratives she is introducing elements of illusion and mystery, trying to situate her work in a space of the in-between.
She has been awarded several scholarships and residencies, such as the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2017–2018 and 2021) or the ISCP New York City (2020, 2022). She has exhibited her work at Camera Austria, Graz; Paris Photo, Curiosa Section, Paris; MAK-Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna; Neue Galerie, Graz, among others.
She currently lives and works in Paris, France.
