Annina Roescheisen

Roescheisen is a pluri disciplinary artist. Her work includes video, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, performance art, and documentary. With a strong artistic heritage as the granddaughter of highly acclaimed German artist Ernst Moritz Geyger (1861-1941). Having graduated from the Elite University of Ludwig Maximilian, Munich, Annina Roescheisen has a Masters in History of Art, and political Philosophy and Folklore. Roescheisen’s work has been exhibited in galleries worldwide, including the 56th Venice Biennale, at the GAA Foundation in the context of the European Pavilion where her work was shown among well-known artists such as Daniel Buren and Yoko Ono. Since 2012 she performs in”Systema Occam” by French contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan in collaboration with contemporary music composer Eliane Radigue. This performance was shown at the MAMO/ Le Corbusier in Marseille, the Delacroix Museum in Paris, the Hermès Foundation in Paris, and the French Alliance Institute in New York, to name a few. In 2016, Time Out New York named her as one of the top 10 emerging artists to follow. In their 2015 review of her series, “What are You Fishing For”, Wall Street International emphasized that “Her “holistic” approach to art allows for a broad spectrum of activities and has seen the artist become an active participator in the human rights field and a collaborator with fellow artists.” This same work was longlisted in 2015 for the Aesthetica Art Prize. Her video entitled “A Love story” won the 2016 Born award in the category of Art as well as the International Award of Outstanding Excellence at the International Film Festival for Peace, Inspiration & Equality. Roescheisen’s multimedia works are held together by underlying concepts such as iconography, poetry, literature, Medieval art, German Romanticism, Gothic architecture, the fairytale, the inspection of dream and reality, and the visible and invisible world....
