Anna Schewelew

Anna Schewelew, (*1984, Leninabad/Tajikistan) studied literature and philosophy as well as applied theatre studies at the University of Giessen. Her artistic works deal with the aestheticization of different kinds of knowledge. In 2014, she developed the interactive performance installation "Zwofadolei“, together with Eleonora Herder/ andpartnersincrime. By combining an architectural model with augmented reality and performance, the installation gives viewers an insight into the lives of the inhabitants of Frankfurt's May-Housing Estates.

In the installations 46° 15' N, 27° 30'W (with Christopher Felix Hahn, 2012) and 1937 I+II (with Fabian Offert, 2010), she used spatial constellations to make the viewer understand the reasons for the disappearance of a 260-meter freighter, more specifically of a grandfather in the Soviet Union in 1937. In 2011, she received the audience award at the Performing Science Competition of the Center for Media and Interactivity at the University of Giessen for her lecture performance &c.

Recently, together with the Rotterdam Presenta collective, she developed the music theatre performance Anthroposcene, which uses electronic music, computer art and performance to model the feedback that exists between humans and their environment (Stuttgart, February 2018), the queer evolutionary museum tour HOMO MUTANS (Implantieren Festival, Frankfurt, September2018).

In „Auto-nomie" she did the research on the Donbass region and was joined as an expert on Russia during the performance.
