acid in the shell, 2025

The creeping acidification of the seas is an invisible but profound transformation that threatens organic life. The blue mussel, whose byssus threads dissolve due to the increasing acidity in the water, becomes a symbol of this change.
During the exhibition, a mussel dissolves in the water every day - a silent but haunting gesture of disappearance. What remains is a trace of skin, an imprint of transience that makes the connection between humans and water tangible.

acid in the shell, 2025 is a poetic reflection on the physicality of water and its ecological fragility. The work draws with traces of water and shows embedded, intertwined, interconnected bodies on large fabric sheets that hang freely in space: the connection between water and humans, which Astrida Neimanis describes as an existential question in her book Bodies of Water (2017).
Water shapes us, but what traces do we leave behind in return?

Besides the big scaled wood print work
100times you&I running down the sink, 2023/24 these two works of mine, both with Indigo are also displayed.

My big gratitude goes to Ikehara-sensei, @ikhrmsht_ryukyuai who handed me some of his precious dried indigo foam. This foam, also called the flower of indigo, is used as the final layer on both works.

Big ありがとう〜 also to @neromemari for the wonderful ride and time + Takara-sensei and Kagawa-sensei who teached me so much!
I am still very grateful for my time on Okinawa- 🌞🌊💙

ANNA GREBNER is part of the LIQUID ARCHIVES group exhibition! We are very pleased to present her transformative works in Venice.

Anna Grebner (Sinalunga, Italy, 1990 lives and works in Munich, Germany) works between painting and installation, focusing her research on the ecological fragility of water and the entanglement between the human body and the environment.
In the series acid in the shell, water is at the centre of artistic reflection as a material that is at once living and fragile. Human skin, with a pH of 5.5, is placed in relation to seawater, whose pH oscillates between 7.5 and 8.4 – an equilibrium increasingly under threat. The progressive acidification of the oceans is an invisible yet profound transformation that endangers organic life. The mussel, whose byssus threads dissolve under the effect of increasing acidity, becomes a symbol of this change. The artist traces intertwined and interconnected drawings and bodies using the imprints of water, evoking the relationship between water and the human being. Water acts as an agent of transformation, leaving traces that make visible the often-invisible impact of human actions on the non-human world.

Mille Grazie to the wonderful @maddalena_pelu

🌊🌊🌊

LIQUID ARCHIVES explores water not only as a natural element, but also as a site of sensitive memory, the female body, ecological force, fluid mythology, and political matter. The exhibition brings together the practices of the invited artists, whose works traverse the liquid as material, metaphor, emotional element, vital force, nourishment, and existential condition. The works converse like interconnected currents, generating an archive of fluidity in its many forms, where corporeality, memory, and science intertwine.

roots of the hidden grass 2023/26 &
uncertain heart 2023/26
are titles of a small paper collages series of ink drawings, sketches and paper researches I did during my time at Okinawa (2023/24).

I focused on indigo - the Ryuukyuu Ai #琉球藍, studied plants and learned about Nihonga - Japanese painting techniques.
Moments of being lost in translation gifted me with some poetic lines.

The works around roots of the hidden grass 2023/26 & uncertain heart 2023/26 are soft dances of reinstalling materials that already lost their purposes. Meaningful words can become meaningless over time. Meaningless notes can weight heavy after years passing.
Purpose and value can change within someone’s perspective & if we can share viewpoints in between each other’s.
Being able to set my feet on beaches full of coral skeletons did changed me and its sound went straight into my bones and uncertain heart.

Anna Grebner, acid in the shell, 2025

Der Werkkomplex „acid in the shell“ versteht sich als eine poetische Reflexion über die Körperlichkeit von Wasser und seiner ökologischen Fragilität. Auf großformatige Stoffbahnen werden die Spuren von Grafitpigmenten sichtbar, die sich durch das Einwirken von Wasser wie zarte Linien über den dünnen Stoff bewegen und dabei menschliche Körper bilden, die ineinander verwoben sind. Diese visuelle und körperliche Verflechtung steht ebenso symbolisch für untrennbare Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Natur, die sich nicht dichotom gegenüberstehen, sondern miteinander und aufeinander einwirken. Dabei verweist die innerhalb der Werkserie aufgestellte Analogie zwischen dem Säuregehalt der menschlichen Haut und dem zunehmend saurer werdenden Wasser der Weltmeere, auch auf die teilweise fatalen Auswirkungen menschlichen Handelns auf das Ökosystem. Die sich im Wasser auflösende Muschel wird dabei zum stillen, aber eindringlichen Symbol des Verschwindens.

things are slowly developing with their own pace🌱and everyone is taking the time they need within each process

Thank you @jvliaburek for sharing your timeline with me during our project and exhibiting re:figuration. We called and met, talked and shared thoughts in Meiningen, Milano and Munich
I almost forgot to take the soil when we visited #Meiningen for the first time together in April. “Don’t forget your soil!” right next to the small river- this still runs in my ears
the dark brown powder took part in some paintings together with #Trudee - my indigo pigment💧

The exhibition re:figuration is displayed until
29.06 - 21.09.2025
@galerie_ada_meiningen
Thank you @jvliaburek for this lasting experience working with you💕 and thanks to @federicodelfrati + #Berta, Lisa & @miriam.haltmeier for your amazing support. And the sparkling @elisabreyer3000 for your wonderful speech and our trip to Milano with Essiggurken am Comer See🧚🧚

recapturing some passages the biggest joy of making my own pigments is the process of slowing down and the idea of creating my own measurements of values. There is no chance of recalling something, we are constantly moving into the next and the slight chance of not missing out is by floating and accepting your own time taken in Meiningen, Germany by @annaagrebner

The past few weeks I shared my life with an indigo vat named #Trudee. Usually you could say hosted but it felt like co-existing with her during days covered with blue.
Trudee (Gertrude/Trudy), a german nickname for a strong personality- & she was a fighter here in this very cold rainy german May weather.
Thank you #Trudee for covering my hands in blue and the constant joy and excitement every morning before checking on you. With you I felt like #Lazzarofelitce - I smelled the rain, listened to the sun and dyed within your timeline whenever you were ready to~
Everything else fell aside and time flew slower.

Thank you @philiphuangnyc for being such an amazing indigo teacher with all the patience and morning updates on #Trudee 🧞‍♂️ and Big thanks you and @chomchomw for letting me taking care of your Thai-German baby #Trudee .
Also I want to thank @bettysbeautifullife for her indigo passion and knowledge and inspiration and @je_m_appelle_ilo for our indigotastic #Inselträumen
Bis bald, #Trudee - enjoy going back to the land🌱 by @annaagrebner
