Anna Cherednikova left northern Caucasus, her native region, for Saint Petersburg aged 18. She has since lived in the Balkans, Stockholm, Madrid and then Arles, France. Due to this constant migration, she has had to continually adapt to new places, dragging her roots along from one city to another.
She likes to think of the Earth as one big garden where each plant would have the same value, without hierarchy. Living in Provence, she is fascinated by weeds. These grow among stones, in places where nothing is likely to grow. They withstand strong winds and high temperatures. We try to stop them from spreading, but they resist and blossom.
