Anna Zaradny born in 1977 Sound and visual artist, composer, instrumentalist, co-founder of the festival and the Musica Genera publishing house.
Anna Zaradny’s work is realized in sound and visual art. Classically educated, a graduate of the Academy of Music - saxophone, conducting. He uses his background in improvised and experimental music, treating the instrument and other tools as an open, organic form. As a composer and instrumentalist, she moves in a wide spectrum from acoustic improvised music, with a minimalist contemporary idiom, to a structurally and compositionally complex, completely electronic, experimental form. Visual works Zaradny creates photography and video through scores, performances, objects, compositions and sound installations. In them, the artist uses means of abstraction, micro sound and architectural objects, light and space, creating acoustic environments that allow viewers to become a part of the work and touch the architecture at the level of sound, exploring non-verbal ways of expression through narratives or ideas. Thus, he questions the superiority of the image, allowing the sound to serve as an essential narrative cue to be experienced with the whole body. In modified environments with careful lighting and sound design that stimulate the instinctive experience of architecture presented in a wide range of immersive spaces, in his work he seeks connections between the human body, sound, space and technology, exploring cracks in sound and image, and creates moments of penetration of the senses and the illusory nature of their perception . These works are characterized by the ambiguity of concepts and the relationship between ideas and the medium of form.
