Anna Engelhardt
Anna Engelhardt is the alias of a video artist and writer. Her investigative practice follows the traces of material violence, focusing on what could be seen as the ‘ghost’ of information. The toxic information environments Engelhardt deals with stem from structures of occupation and dispossession.
She has shown her work at ICA, transmediale, Ars Electronica, Kyiv Biennial, BFI London Film Festival, International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, The Henie Onstad Triennial for Photography and New Media, National Gallery of Art (Lithuania), Aksioma, Framer Framed and V.O Curations.
Engelhardt is a core faculty of the MA Information Design at Design Academy Eindhoven and co-editor of Chimeras: Inventory of Synthetic Cognition (Onassis Foundation, 2022). As of 2024, she is a Film London Artists’ Moving Image Network fellow and a resident at the Medialab Matadero.
Together with Mark Cinkevich, Anna Engelhardt is a participating artist in the Framer Framed exhibition Really? Art and Knowledge in Time of Crisis (2024) curated by Mi You and David Garcia. For the exhibition, Engelhardt and Cinkevich developed the film Terror Element, commissioned by Framer Framed with the support of the Netherlands Film Fund and the Creative Industries Fund NL (Immerse/Interact Grant Scheme). Terror Element was later screened as part of transmediale 2025 (Berlin) and exhibited in OFF-Biennále 2025 (Budapest) and Twelve Ten Gallery (Chicago).
Engelhardt and Cinkevich discuss the research behind the film in the Framer Framed podcast Terror Element: The Fragility of Truth in Forensic Science.
