Cordial invitation to the presentation of the new video work in the Rotunde at Hentrichhaus on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, at 19:00.
Painted paper collages, flawed printing processes and the exploration of the specific properties of various materials are central elements of the animations by Anna Malina Zemlianski. The video work presented here brings together a selection of such animations, which were originally conceived as GIFs: short, silent image sequences that loop endlessly in a digital environment and thus have neither beginning nor end.
The temporality of GIFs oscillates between the stillness of a photographic single image and the continuous duration of a film. Similar to a haiku, the animations shown here are meant to condense form, material and images into moments that linger in the viewers like fragments of memory or intrusive thoughts.
The image material used for the animations consists of both found feature film sequences and self-portraits.
