Anna Riess is a multidisciplinary artist and cultural anthropologist based in Vienna. Her work explores themes of embodiment, emotion, and interbodily relations through materials like clay, metal, and textiles. Deeply influenced by her experience of motherhood, she transforms everyday objects into symbolic forms – one of her gestures she describes as the “nippelization of the everyday.”
“M.other body” was born from a deeply personal and vulnerable process. Through her own artistic practice Anna Riess examines how to be artist and mother. In close collaboration with photographer Elodie Grethen, she brings these explorations into dialogue, weaving images and words into a work about body, identity, transformation, and intimacy. Sharing such personal texts and photographs requires courage and support. Photography: Elodie Grethen. Graphic design & editing: Katharina Griesbacher-Tafner. Fine typography: Irmi Benezeder. Creative consulting: Ana Barros. Proofreading: Gisela Selbach. Artist & publisher: Anna Riess. Thanks to a large crowdfunding community, this book was able to be financed. The book was printed in Austria.
