 Bettina Malcomess (PhD in Film Studies at Kings College, London) is a writer and an artist based in Johannesburg where they teach interdisciplinary studio practice at Wits School of Arts. Occasionally working under the name Anne Historical, their artistic practice inhabits multivocality and density, embodied research and material investigation. 

Malcomess‘ writing and research looks for new archival vocabularies, ways to rethink the densities of historical material in a present marked by urgent ecological and political questions. Since 2016 Malcomess has been producing work with analogue film, light and sound that inhabits the entanglement of memory, technology and history: a series of unfinished articulations in counterpoint voices that attempt to queer the signal.

Bettina worked with edition ~ verso to produce a series of gravure prints for their solo Sentimental Agents at Galerie Nagel Draxler, Berlin and later at WAM (Wits Art Museum), Johannesburg

Below are photographs of the prints.
