Annick Wolfers is a Photographer & Filmmaker based in east London.
Originally from a small town in rural Luxembourg, she trained in fine art - first in Strasbourg, France then later at St Martins in London.
Her work explores the intricate, often symbiotic relationship between people and the natural world, investigating how individuals and communities interact with, rely on, and shape their environments.
With a keen focus on sustainability, human impact, and the deep connections between cultural practices and specific landscapes, she creates visual narratives that provoke thought and reflection.
Her work explores the delicate balance between nature and human activity, highlighting the importance of preserving our ecological heritage.
A recent personal project, Common Ground, traced the significance of Wanstead Flats, a green space on the fringes of north east London. This multimedia project explores the vital role of the area to both local ecology and community life. Large format photographs are currently displayed on billboards along the Leytonstone High Road, highlighting the area’s environmental importance and fostering a dialogue about the impact of urbanisation on natural spaces.
Through her work, she wants to invite viewers to reconsider their relationship with the world around them, offering poignant reflection on the spaces we inhabit and the interconnections between nature, culture, and the built environment.
