About
We live in the era of the meta-physical: internet is not physical, images and videos are not physical. How do our bodies inhabit this nonexistent space? What is our relationship between our bodies and objects, reality and virtuality? The relationship is memory and identity. We use objects (like clothes) to shape our identities (emotion, memory and to delimit spaces (like the light, paper, etc).
The interaction between objects and ourselves can happen through of the memory they project on us, the propensity to choose one object over the other, the purpose they serve to us, or sometimes in an arbitrary way. But what connects us to the material remains intimate and unique, like a secret between a person and an object.

Anna Ill is a Spanish artist born in Vilanova i la Geltrú, in 1990. She studied Textile Art at the Escola Massana, in Barcelona, and Decoration at the École Boulle, in Paris. Anna Ill is based in London and enrolled in the MA in Art and Space at Kingston University. She is among the participating artists to the 2015-2017 Biennale Jeune Création Européenne (JCE). Working with textiles, photos and videos, Anna Ill explores the themes of human intimacy and of the boundaries separating the ‘insides’ and ‘outsides’that we constantly inhabit.
