Stink announce the signing of multidisciplinary artist Anna van der Velde for global commercial and music video representation.
van der Velde’s work blends film, digital art, technology, and movement. With a practice that defies traditional creative boundaries. Her visual language is defined by a technical approach, static yet charged compositions, and choreography.
In one of her latest projects for Nike x The Face, van der Velde crafted an experimental short film featuring emerging Berlin, DJ Cora. Merging CGI and live-action performance, the film visualises Cora’s techno track The Heart Sutra through mirrored bodies, and suspended, surreal elements. Drawing on Cora’s East Asian influences and Anna’s own interest in transcendence and psychology states, they blurred reality to create a stark, hypnotic study of rhythm and identity. Further brands such as Adidas, Numéro, and Iris Van Herpen have partnered with van der Velde to explore philosophical themes through arresting, future-forward imagery. Her work challenges viewers to look closer, to understand movement as meaning, and technology as a conduit for emotion.
“Anna’s such a unique proposition on our roster. We’ve very eager to explore opportunities that go beyond traditional forms of advertising. Anna’s background in art, tech and experiential brings a whole new perspective to the fore.” said Dom McKiernan, Global Head of Music & Special Projects
“I am beyond excited about my new partnership with Stink! From the very beginning, I felt that they truly see me as a multidisciplinary artist and understand how to translate that into powerful, immersive work. Stink dares to shift perspectives and challenge the creative industry with their layered, forward-thinking vision. I’m proud to join their creative family, and I can’t wait to build new worlds together.” adds Van der Velde.
