Ana Čigon (1982) is an artist creative in the fields
of video, film, performance and new media. She
holds an MA in video (Academy of Fine Arts and
Design, Ljubljana) and an MA in Interface Cultures at
Kunstuniversitaet, Linz, Austria. Her projects tackle
social and feminist topics, such as underrepresentation
of women artists in art history, the limitations of the
concept of collective memory, invisible social groups,
relation subject-society, pursuit of happiness and
such. Her works often contain elements of humour
and irony, and her productions are not limited to one
media. Over the recent years, she has been interested
in documentaries; she produces videos for theatre
and participates in co-authored collective projects.
She had solo exhibitions of her works in Slovenia and
abroad. She is a winner of an OHO Award, a finalist
for the Slovenia Henkel Award and the VordembergeGildewart
Foundation Award.
