Anett Stuth is a German photographer. With her photographs, Anett Stuth invents multiple architectures in which interior and exterior, high and popular culture, photography and painting overlap. From basic documentary motifs, Stuth layers and collages imaginary interiors, urban or natural landscapes. At the same time, they make the possibility space of the virtual age perceptible. With the technique she has been developing since 2003, Stuth transcends the usual dimension of photographic space and redefines it.
