Anaïs Horn, born in Graz (AT), lives and works in Paris, currently in residence with ISCP New York.
Anaïs Horn’s work intertwines text, photography, video, drawing and painting to explore intimate moments. With a focus on liminality, Horn observes people and their spaces. In her artistic process, she investigates time, memories, the body and its traces, the cautious intrusion of privacy, the aesthetics of reality, and fugacity. Her images take shape by exploring surfaces and objects, and they frequently unfold into spatial installations. The artist‘s book is an essential medium for her work.

Eilert Asmervik, born in Trondheim (NOR), lives and works in Paris.
Mainly disciplined in oil painting and sound he approaches creation intuitively. As co-founder of the fluid, international InterStar freedom platform, he continuously contributes to bringing interdisciplinary, inter-medial, inter-esthetic expression to the world in the form of Guerilla-shows, publications, editions, sound performances and other formats.
