Anna Kushnerova is a film director, video artist, and multimodal practitioner working across film, movement, and material installation. Her practice draws from Butoh and somatic lineages to enter the body’s deep reservoirs of instinct, metamorphosis, and memory, exploring becoming-animal, becoming-plant, and becoming-spirit through subtle states of perception and corporeal imagination.

Her films emerge through co-presence with environment and texture, allowing body, landscape, and moment to shape the unfolding. Performances move between instinct, ceremony, and play, where the body becomes vessel, amplifier, and offering. With a background in ceramics and textiles, she creates masks, garments, and sculptural set-objects that activate transitional states of being and the body as a site of transformation.

Rooted in eco-somatic and deep ecological inquiry, her work understands matter as sentient and dreaming. Through Human Clay CIC, she develops cross-disciplinary encounters grounded in ecological intimacy, collective imagination, and embodied transformation.
