Anne Kolbe studied fine art at Sint Joost Den Bosch (2023) and at Piet Zwart Institute Rotterdam (2018). She works with a variety of media, mostly on the borders of performance, sculpture, and installation. Through these media she examines ways of becoming other through the body, by blurring the lines between herself and her surroundings. With her body as her main tool and material, she creates spatial characters who are ready for the drama of life.
“I examine the performative nature of mute and everyday objects, speculating and reflecting on their doings, dealings, desires and demands. Whether it’s a pot plant, a flower vase, or a tabletop; they all resonate in many ways. In their presence, I too become an object with many echoes.”
She also periodically publishes SCHANDE, the gossip and lifestyle zine for Rotterdams’ arts scene.
