Anna Fasshauer German, b. 1975

Anna Fasshauer (*1975 in Cologne) graduated from the Chelsea School of Art and Design in London in 2001. She has exhibited her work in group and solo shows around the world, including venues such as the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris, Kunstverein Offenburg and Kunstverein Arnsberg in Germany, and the Goethe Institute in Beirut. She lives and works in Berlin.

Bending, crushing, folding, winding, and welding, the works each began to take shape by Fasshauer’s hand. They were defined in part by the moment in which they were made, and in part by the organic aesthetic evolution of the preceding works. Each new work was another figure adding its own expression to the growing phylum. The construction site lent Fasshauer a homogeneity of material, delimiting the work to simple extruded construction metal.
