Anna Senno
(b. 1983)
Anna Senno is a visual artist. Her work is strongly linked to identity, with a pluralist conviction of the term. Senno casts herself in varying roles as painter, filmmaker, photographer, writer, designer and curator:
– “I do not have a fixed medium for my work. There are ideas and to these I use words, a camera, sometimes a machine or a space. It can turn into a film, a publication, an exhibition, a piece of furniture, or nothing at all, it stays an idea until it goes away. Then there are intuitions of the instinct and to these my hand paints, draws or shapes.”
Anna Senno’s interest in what resides in the junction between the poetic forms and the intellectual thought comes from her conviction in the transformative function of beauty. Her work is often characterised by a self-exposing and intimate dimension through which the universal is exposed, always in quest of the just definition –whether a word, object or emotion.
Anna Senno has been a guest teacher at the Stockholm University of the Arts, Dramatic Academy, Sweden; Oberlin Art College, Ohio, USA; Science Po, Paris, France; University of Caen Normandie, France; The School of Political Studies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo on behalf of the Council of Europe.
