Anna Falcini is a visual artist who investigates ephemeral and intangible phenomena to reveal mysterious things; the atmosphere of an estuarial landscape or the potential for conversations through the archive with the Welsh artist, Gwen John.

Falcini often attributes these things to “feelings in the air” and uses her sensing body to investigate them, translating these findings into material bodies of work. Her Archive of Atmosphere for example, is a collection of found objects from the Hoo Peninsula that possess atmospheric properties and is performed by her alter ego, Louisa Cornford and became the subject of her doctorate completed at UCA Canterbury in 2021.

In 2014, Falcini began researching the letters and notebooks of the late Welsh artist Gwen John, which evolved into a solo exhibition In Between the Folds are Particles a body of work that maps the complexity of both John’s artistic and personal life through the mediums of film, sound, photography and drawings. In her quest to unravel the episodes of John’s life, she travelled to the locations that were critical spaces shaping John’s story; Tenby, Paris and Dieppe.
