About the Project

Annelie Franke researches in her work the unloved and despised visual conditions of ourselves of everyday life. The collection of photographs of people freshly risen displays images that are normally invisible but intensely private with its particular aesthetic. She moves between the blurred boundaries of the beautiful and the ugly, with a photographic way that makes the invisible visible and the not presentable literally presentable.

Besides, she works as freelance designer and photographer in various projects in both countries. Her artistic work stresses the importance of small things in life. Using various media such as photography, illustration and design, she exalts unnoticed and common things of everyday life to turn them into main actors of her work, and ennoble evident ugliness to natural beauty.
