Anna Hulth, in her own words:
I am based in Gothenburg, Sweden, and I have a broad education in many different artistic expressions: photography, text, film, and cultural project management. I received an MFA in Craft; Textile Art from HDK-Valand, Gothenburg (2022).
I suffer from a recurring desire to get closer to the unknown. To get closer to the things I cannot see, and yet it fills my chest with concern. That feeling that is so difficult to control and to understand. That feeling that scares me.
I work mainly with analog photography, where I patiently try to approach a narrative of emotions. By transferring my photographs to a tactile material, I can allow myself to get even closer to an eerier state of mind. I use layers; I add them and erase them; physical layers of charcoal, fragile flowers and hair. The layers create a distance, a space that, consequently, opens a narrow path into the unknown.
I am a minimalist; I do not want to show too much, I want the viewer to piece the narrative together. Behind each work, whether it is in a photograph, a video or other medium, there is more than what is seen and said. There's a part of me, struggling at the surface.
Through my art I want the individual to feel included but also to create a dialogue about contemporary demands and expectations on her/him/them. By being honest and through lifting my own personal problems with the help of art, I hope you -viewer, reader- will meet me.

The Woods and I
Musik- Evil Astronaut
En självbiografisk film som berör ämnet att vilja försvinna. Filmen synliggör problematiken om att inte passa in i samhällets normer. Om den eviga flyktkänslan, om att vilja försvinna in i skogen och aldrig komma tillbaka.

An autobiographical film about wanting to disappear. The film sheds light on the difficulties of not fitting into social norms. About the never-ending urge to run away, to disappear into the woods and never come back.
