Anika Spereiter (*1990 in East Germany) is a photographer based in Berlin. After receiving her degree in Media Informatics at University of Applied Sciences Harz in 2016, she studied photography at Ostkreuz School for Photography in Berlin and finished her studies in 2022 in the graduation class of Ute Mahler and Linn Schröder.
Anika’s artistic approach is rooted in her interest in psychology and perception. She likes to explore the boundaries between truth and illusion, and so she often combines documentary and fiction within her photographic narratives. Memory, identity and discomfort often play a central role in her work.
In 2022 she self-published her first photo book "A Myth in the Making".
Together with photographer Tim Bruns and photo historian Annekathrin Müller, Anika co-founded Fotoskopia, an exhibition project dedicated to bring contemporary photography to life in places where it has had little presence to date, thereby enabling cultural participation.
Besides her photographic practice Anika works as a motion graphics artist.
