Anna Godzina

Anna Godzina (Chișinău, Moldova, 1990) studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where she graduated with a master’s degree in 2019. Godzina’s strongly existential work stems from autobiographical elements, as well as the observations she makes during walks of urban situations or the convergence of objects in time and space. Her work is animistic, conceiving matter as an active substance. The vagabond, migratory objects she frequently incorporates in her pieces bring discourses about value systems, cultural diversity, class hierarchies, and socio-political divides. In the works she presents, the in situ qualities of the exhibition space play an important role, as well as the fluidity between objects, time, space, sound, and movement.
