Anne Büscher
Stuttgart (D), 1991
Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design, bachelor in Jewelry Design in 2014. Master’s program Materialization in Art and Design at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam in 2017. She has been artist in residence at Tokyo Wonder Site in Tokyo, Japan in 2016 and at RAVI in Liège, Belgium in 2017.
With her experimental approach to the artistic process, each artwork by Anne Büscher can be seen as an experiment in which she stretches the perceived reality of the involved materials and techniques. The experiments are driven by (material) research, on a crossroads between theory, fiction and reality. Her work spans across various mediums including glass, marble, ceramic, photography, silicon, and combines systematic research with intuitive methods. She explores the material by pushing its boundaries through serendipitous experimentation resulting in new, playful and exciting discoveries.
The work revolves around the tactile aspects of photography, in which the outcome is not determined by the camera, but by experiments with material, forms and light. In total darkness, Anne makes configurations of found glass objects on a light sensitive medium, by leaning and balancing them on each other depending on her sense of touch. The developed photograms show not only the marks and opacity of the different pieces of glass, but also the change in speed of the light wave as it refracts. These abstract configurations recount a process whose exact repetition is absolutely necessary to our fundamental belief in science, despite continuous breakthroughs in quantum physics that challenge the very nature of reality itself.
