In 2023 Anke opened her Atelier and Showroom to the public. The new space was inaugurated by showcasing the work around the title “This moment will never come back”. Visitors were invited to engage as living sculptures alongside ceramic artefacts & drawings.

One breath, one circle, one moment. 

“Every moment I am someone else.”

Diverse Range of work

During the Pandemic in 2020 Anke was searching for security und safety and found it in her work. In her home studio she created a piece that she later incorporated in a performance in public space, when being outside was authorized again.

19 Nov – 25 Nov 2018 Anke performed on 7 days ‘Breathing with clay’ at 20SQUARE7 Gallery Space in Berlin, Germany. During the performance she synchronised her breathing with her gestures to create vessels with a fully present body and mind. Every time her mind started to wander off, she would drop the work in her hand to start over again. In front of her grew a pile of clay visualising her absent mind.
