In the artist's words:

Hello!

I’m Annika Demmer. Diversity—whether technical, thematic, or social—is a genuine priority for me. In the past, I’ve illustrated children’s books and kamishibai, provided visual accompaniment for theater and orchestra productions, and created light installations using paper cutouts. Together with juggler Anni Küpper, we are CHIMERA, a duo of female artists in the contemporary circus. My work is characterized by a culture-bridging approach and an analog methodology.
