Robert Pfaller / Zärtliche Auslagerung
Ein möglicher Zugang zu den Arbeiten von Anna Stangl führt über eine besondere Art von Philosophie. Sie existierte in den Epochen, in denen das Philosophieren hohes gesellschaftliches Ansehen genoss, zum Beispiel in der Antike oder auch im 18. Jahrhundert, und hatte vor allem ein Ziel: Sie war der Versuch, ein bestehendes Glück oder eine bestehende Lust durch ihre Erkenntnis zu verstärken. Eine Philosophie also, die sich selbst zu einem Teil jener Lust zu machen versucht, welche sie zum Gegenstand nimmt. In diesem Sinn von Philosophie könnte man eine kleine Spekulation entwerfen, ausgehend von der Lust, welche die Arbeiten von Anna Stangl hervorrufen können.

Margit Zuckriegl
Women, representation of the female, her own identity and its fragility in the interplay of the erotic and wounding, uplifting and humiliating forces of on outside world perceived as Other, these are Anna Stangl's themes. Her women and girl-Iike beings isolate themselves in their dreams and ideas, in the way they are wrapped up in themselves sleeping, in affectionate embrace, in the concentration on their own bodies as in ovules that become their aura, in which they can move freely, develop, in which they may simply exist as though unseen.

Anna Stangl / about my work
The central focus of my work is the human body. This is my main interest. For me it is a medium, a language, by means of which I can express something else. Because it enables me to approach something which is difficult to grasp by itself more easily by using something which I know very well and which I feel and can follow.
