Anna Schiefer is artist and educator in the visual and performing arts, founding member of the Stuttgart-based collective Verlag für Handbücher and deputy president of the board of directors of Künstlerhaus Stuttgart. In her performative and participatory projects Anna Schiefer explores how psycho-social systems manifest around objects which are deployed as tools of an expanded sociality of groups and the built environment. In 2020 she completed a doctoral research project into the ontological status of object in performative use at the École européenne supérieure de l’image in Poitier.
