Annabel Zoe Paran
Annabel Zoe Paran is a multidisciplinary artist born in Jerusalem and based in Berlin. Her practice often translates embodied research—through dance, ritual, and site-specific work —into sculpture, painting, installation, and video. Engaging with ecological grief, geopolitical trauma, and the mysticism of human-nature encounters, she explores the coexistence of beauty and violence, rupture and tenderness, the intimate and the abject. Paran’s work navigates contradiction, queering binaries and inhabiting liminal states. Her installations often involve sustainable materials and experimental processes that treat matter as a collaborator, inviting both control and unpredictability. By drawing on performance-based inquiry and working with bio-materials, she creates immersive environments that speak to the body and invite psycho-somatic engagement. Across media, Paran builds hybrid sites where the sacred meets the disposable, the natural merges with the synthetic, and spiritual presence persists amidst systems of conflict and mediation. Her work holds multiple truths, forging connections across rupture.
