Ananda Serné (b. 1988 Rotterdam, NL) is a visual artist and writer based in Norway. She holds an MA in Fine Arts from the Iceland University of the Arts. Through moving image, language, performance and installation, her practice explores questions that touch upon translation and (mis)communication. She is interested in the challenges that mediums like language, sound and moving image pose when trying to capture certain natural phenomena. How much information exists for example outside of the realm of human perception? How much information is lost?
Ananda is currently working on her novel Nachtbloeiers that will be published by Cossee Publishers in the Netherlands. Upcoming solo exhibitions and projects will take place at PuntWG in Amsterdam, Konstepidemin in Göteborg, the Norwegian Sculptors Society in Oslo and at Ny-Ålesund Centre for Arctic Scientific Research on Svalbard. |
