Touted by The Globe and Mail as 'one of the shows to see' in 2012, The Red Head Gallery is proud to present ANNA, a photo and video and photo installation by Andrea Cooper.
From the moment of birth we are sought then unfurled. The second we are pushed from the womb we become objects of prey. ANNA is a 12- minute experimental video performed by the artist in an abandoned barn that explores predator-prey relations, and defines the moment when prey becomes predator.
Inspired by women who have gone missing or lost, ANNA, is a haunting performance about hope and addiction. The character creates an allegorical, seductive poem about death and disappearance.
