Anna Uddenberg

Through the feedback loop of consumerist culture, Anna Uddenberg investigates how body culture, spirituality and self-staging intertwine with the mediation and production of subjectivity shaped by new technologies and the circulation of forms. Her practice integrates approaches to gender while providing a space for reflecting on taste and class, appropriation and sexuality, pushing these questions into new material territories. Uddenberg’s work consistently confronts feminine identity within consumer culture and explores performativity by using sculpture and performance as visual platforms.

The use of automotive skeletal structures and other utilitarian frameworks in her recent abstract and figurative works refers to the concepts of the comfort zone and architectural proxies. Their ‘furnituresque’ appearance emerges from the rearrangement of everyday objects and materials, placed in new and unexpected dialogues with one another.

Anna Uddenberg (born 1982, Stockholm, Sweden) lives and works in Berlin.
