Anna-Lena Krause
hello@annalenakrause.de
Anna-Lena Krause is a London-based artist working primarily across sculpture, wall-based relief and performance. Her works often begin with live encounters between bodies, which are recorded through 3D scanning, digitally transformed and translated into material form. Through this movement between performance, data and sculpture, she asks what changes, what persists and what is lost as bodies pass between physical, digital and material states.
Rather than treating the body as self-contained, Krause approaches it as relational: shaped through proximity, care, memory and the presence of others. Individually scanned figures are fragmented and recomposed; each fragment remains tied to a body that was physically present, while the relations between them may be constructed later. The resulting works occupy a space between record and invention, giving material form to encounters, absences and forms of intimacy that cannot be directly seen.
Originally from Berlin, Krause holds a BA in Photography from the University of Applied Sciences Berlin and an MA from the Royal College of Art in London, where she was a Rose Finn-Kelcey Scholar. She is currently an artist in residence at the Sarabande Foundation. Her work has been exhibited at Somerset House, Saatchi Gallery, C/O Berlin, KUMU Art Museum, Alice Black Gallery and Guts Gallery.
