Ana Zibelnik (b. 1995, Ljubljana) is a visual artist and photographer based in The Hague, Netherlands. She holds an MA in Film and Photographic Studies from Leiden University. Her work revolves around the themes of the ecological crisis, climate anxiety and its social implications. How does it feel to live in the end times? What is the relationship between white supremacy and the battle over the climate crisis? The latter question also marks the intersection of her artistic practice with her editorial work for the Dutch cultural producer Paradox, where she has been researching the notion of ‘perpetrator perspectives’.
