Anna Jermolaewa (b. 1970 in Leningrad / Saint Petersburg) trains her keen, empathetic eye on moments of everyday life that are easily overlooked, transforming them into vivid allegories of social and political realities.
Often she works in places that feature in her own biography, above all in countries with a reference to the former Soviet Union, where she lived before fleeing in 1989.
Jermolaewa's artistic practice comprises video, installation, photography, performance, painting and sculpture. Of particular interest to her are the subtle mechanisms of influence that shape our everyday lives.
Jermolaewa has previously featured in two group shows at Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. The collection includes two of the artist's works, both part of her contribution to the Austrian pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale. The artist is creating several new works for her major solo exhibition.
