Anne Geene (1983)

 

With photography Anne Geene archives, organizes, interprets and arranges the world around her. Afterwards she analyses and catalogues this information in a seemingly logic way. Seemingly, because interpretation of the collected data is essentially personal and an ironic reference to our eagerness to arrange and know everything.

 

In her work, the relationship between the photographic image and science is a central theme. She explores the issues of scientific objectivity and of photography as a medium used for this purpose. Although photography’s objectivity has been questioned many times, it is exactly this objectivity that gives it this probative power. Here’s where Anne Geene finds her inspiration.

 

She studied at Erasmus University (Art and Cultural Studies), Rotterdam, Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, Sint Joost Academy, Breda and Leiden University (Master Photographic Studies) (NL). In 2014 she won the ING New Talent Photography Award. In 2015 she participated in a group exhibition in FoMu, Antwerp (B). She is involved in the periodical Salvo.
