BIOGRAPHY
Anaïs Tondeur. Born in 1985. Works and lives in Paris.
Anchored in ecology thought. Anaïs Tondeur searches for a new form of political art. Crossing natural sciences and anthropology, myth making and new media processes, she creates speculative narratives and engages on investigations through which she experiments other conditions of being to the world. Working with photographies, installations, or videos. she seeks a new aesthetic, in the sense of a renewal of our modes of perception, and explores beyond the separation between nature and culture, other modes of relationships with humans and other than humans.
“At the foreground of her practice are elusive elements of the climate (but also of us), namely radioactive traces, soot particles, waning plants, a prehistoric whiff, human tears—all pointing to the intricate inextricability between our bodies and the world. And all encountered in sites of late industrialism—decaying infrastructures such as former photographic factory sites, nuclear exclusion zones, polluted skies, and planetary spaces where ruins are not in

“Forever Anaïs”
by Sharon Spencer
I’m sitting in my office at Montclair State University and mourning the recent death of my beloved mentor Anna Balakian. Anna was a fiery woman of daunting intellectual brilliance and often fiercely warm feelings. She was protective of people she cared for. The author of many distinguished books on French Symbolism and Surrealism and a magnificent biography of Andre Breton, Magus of Surrealism, Anna was the foremost authority in the U.S. on Surrealism in all the arts. As my dissertation director at N.Y.U., she inspired me to write an ambitious piece of work that was immediately published.
I will not quickly forget Anna’s challenge to a member of the English Department during my thesis defense. She threatened to walk out if he did not change his line of questioning which, she declared, was not appropriate for an oral exam. Later, when I told her I was planning to marry a Serb, she exclaimed, at a reception at the French House, “Oh! That’s wonderful! Serbs are very passionate people!”

Anaïs Nin
French-born American author (1903–1977)
Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell[a] (AN-eye-EESSNEEN;[1]French:[ana.isnin]; February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977) was a French-born American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of the composer Joaquín Nin and the classically trained singer Rosa Culmell. Nin spent her early years in Spain and Cuba, about sixteen years in Paris (1924–1940), and the remaining half of her life in the United States, where she became an established author.
Nin wrote journals prolifically from age eleven until her death. Her journals, many of which were published during her lifetime, detail her private thoughts and personal relationships. Her journals also describe her marriages to Hugh Parker Guiler and Rupert Pole, in addition to her numerous affairs, including those with psychoanalyst Otto Rank and writer Henry Miller, both of whom profoundly influenced Nin and her writing.
In addition to her journals, N
