Anna Schütten works at the intersection of visual and acoustic art. She listens to sites and spaces and records their seemingly abstract patterns to turn them into starting points for a potential music. In her site-specific installations and performances, she transforms the acoustic properties of the exhibition venues and shifts the focus to the marginally perceptible, such as the biophonic rhythms of photosynthesis beneath the sound-absorbing surface of water or the geometry of electromagnetic interferences.

In addition to solo and group exhibitions, her artistic practice consists of interdisciplinary and cooperative approaches. She is part of Simultanhalle Köln, the grapefruits zine and Kollektiv a. a. O.. Anna Schütten studied Freie Kunst at the Kunstakademie Karlsruhe and Epistemic Media (Klang & Realität) at the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf. For her work she received several awards and grants, e.g. the artist-in-residence at Global Forest e.V., St. Georgen (Schwarzwald), NEUSTARTplus Stipendium of Stiftung Kunstfonds and the research grant for music from the City of Cologne.
