About this work:
Shadow Mirror Work captures a lone Marwari horse standing gracefully against the rugged, natural landscape of Rajastan. The composition focuses on the elegant silhouette of the horse, juxtaposed with its reflection in a still body of water below. The mirror-like effect creates a powerful duality, melding the physical presence of the horse with its shadowy counterpart, evoking themes of introspection, symmetry, and fleeting moments. The moody monochrome palette heightens the atmospheric tension, emphasizing texture and form while allowing the viewer to meditate on the tranquil beauty of the scene.

About the Artist:
Anna Archinger (b. 1994, Neuburg an der Donau) is a German artist based in Dronningmølle, Denmark. Since 2022, she has worked professionally as a photographer, with a practice centered on equine imagery. Her fascination with horses goes beyond mere passion—she lives at Enggaarden, a farm and educational center dedicated to teaching the “Academic Art of Riding.” This close relationship with horses recalls the historical fascination of seminal artists with equine studies.

Over the past three years, Anna has developed a striking body of equine photography. Her work received an Honorable Mention in the Professional category from the International Photo Awards USA (2023) and was shortlisted in a private competition held by the Motif Collective Photography Gallery (2023). In 2024, her work will be presented in several international venues, including the Glasgow Gallery of Photography (United Kingdom), the Black and White Photography Festival (Athens), and the Chateau Gallery (Louisville).

"A traveling equestrian photographer who lives in a private riding education center that teaches the "Academic Art of Riding" in Dronningmølle, Denmark. For me, the farm is my open-air studio and the most fascinating workplace a photographer could dream of. I’m an artist who lives in the environment of my own inspiration — horses! I live surrounded by my ‘muse’ and power animals, as I love to call them."
