ANISSA TAVARA (b. 1992, Hamburg) holds degrees in Engineering and Fine Arts. She is currently enrolled in the MFA program at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg. Her practice is centered around processes of translation, moving between analog and digital, object and image. Existing between dissolution and preservation, the works function less as representations than as traces of physical events, within systems where authorship is partially displaced onto matter itself.
