About

Anne Levitch's artistic and curatorial practice centres on the visual representation of embedded cultural memory, of societal attitudes and their traces. Her work responds to what she sees as layered cultural, community, family and personal scripts. In her research, Levitch engages with the philosophical, the psychological, and metaphysical influences of cultural heritage. She responds to these investigations with experimental 3D works, installations, drawing, print, photographic and video works. She is actively involved in exploring the unseen, in making it more visible.
