Anija Seedler (*1974) works at the interface between visual and performing arts. Her paintings and scenic works lead us into liminal worlds, through tipping points, and deep into the inner structures of phantasmagorical realities. Seedler has already published several books based on her drawings. In some of them, the boundaries between cinematic, literary and dramatic forms appear as blurred and merge seamlessly, for example Imperfektes Kino (2014) Kerber Verlag Berlin, Schattenfraß. Ein Theatrum Mundi (2020) MMKoehn Verlag Leipzig and Wind Opera (2023), weiw Verlag Stralsund Amsterdam. The artist’s works have been shown in international exhibitions and have been acquired by public and museum collections. She lives and works in Leipzig
