About Anna Scheidemann

Her work exists at the intersection of photography, craft and design, but more deeply at the intersection of memory, identity and cultural transformation. Through her artistic practice she explores how heritage shapes who we are and how it can be reimagined in the present.  

Born in Ukraine and living in Germany, Scheidemann works between cultures. This experience of living between different histories and traditions became the foundation of her artistic language. Her work asks a central question: who we are and where we come from.

A central focus of her work is the reinterpretation of Hessian cultural heritage, particularly traditional costume. For Scheidemann these garments are not simply historical objects but cultural archives carrying stories of craftsmanship, female creativity and generational continuity.

Through photography she brings these traditions into a contemporary visual language. Her images connect history with modern sensibility, revealing identity through presence, gesture and emotion.

In addition to photographic projects, Scheidemann also works with handcrafted objects and fashion collaborations, expanding cultural narratives into physical form.

Her projects move between art, fashion and social storytelling  always guided by one idea: tradition is not something static from the past, but a living language that continues to evolve.
