Annabell Häfner (*1993 in Bonn, Germany) is one of Germany’s most exciting emerging artists. Guided by a superordinate interest in how to capture the ephemeral in painting, the artist creates formal and textual parallels to film stills. Fixing a moving image freezes a transitional moment; the result are blurs, vague color gradients, lacunae. Conceptually, the artist also deals with the idea on “non-places”—a term coined by the French anthropologist Marc Augé which describes functional spaces devoid of identity and without any deeper history that result from an increasingly modernized, accelerated world with a tendency for volatility.
