Anja Niemi (b. 1976, Norway) always works alone; placing herself within her own meticulous tableaux, she constructs fictional stories where she is both the author and the character. In her work, Niemi appeals to ideas that are innate to the human condition, rather than being confined to a personal mediation. And whilst her narratives are wholly imagined, they act as an intimate space to catalyse real conversations about identity, conformity and the relationship we have with ourselves.
