Yana Wernicke (*1990) is a German artist based near Frankfurt am Main. Her work often revolves around the photographic depiction of animals and humankind’s relationship to nature and other beings.

In collaboration with the photographer Jonas Feige, she worked on the project Zenker, which addresses the history of German colonialism in Cameroon. A book of the project was published by Edition Patrick Frey in 2021.

In 2023 she published her book Companions with Loose Joints, a portrait of two young women who have established profound relationships with animals and an exploration of the ideas of species loneliness and interspecies relationships.
