Anna Baranowski was born in Bytom, Poland in 1983. Today she lives secluded in a small hut in the forests of East Germany and works on her art. In 2012 she received her diploma in media art with distinction at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. After her studies, she took part in numerous exhibitions like the Berlin Biennale „Forget Fear“ in 2012 and received scholarships, such as the work grant from the Kunstfonds Bonn Art Foundation in 2018. During the last years she joined different artist in residence programs, for instance the Greater Columbus Arts Council in Columbus Ohio, USA.
As a contemporary artist and filmmaker Anna Baranowski works on omnipresent, existential questions of the human being. The techniques vary between video installation, photography, sculpture and interventions in the media public space. An always returning subject of her works is the struggle between power and faint in current society. In doing so, she looks at historical legacies in everyday life and reflects collective psychological phenomena of human behaviour.
