Anna K. E. was born in 1986 in Tbilisi. She trained as a ballet dancer at the Vakhtang Chabukiani Ballet School.[1][2]

As a teenager, she moved to Germany with her mother.[1] She studied art at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart and the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.[3]

In 2012, a collection of her artwork was published in a book called A Well-To-do Man Is Cruising in His Fancy Car When a Small Hen Runs Out on the Road in Front.[4]

She represented Georgia at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019. Her Biennale exhibition REARMIRRORVIEW, Simulation is Simulation, is Simulation, is Simulation… is designed as a public tribunal interspersed with examples of her video work. Water flows through metal sculptures in the shapes of letters in Asomtavruli, phonetically spelling out the English word "deranged".[5][6]
