Lena Kuzmich (Talk)
they/no pronouns
Fri May 31 | de Brakke Grond
In what ways can or does more-than-human life contribute to, broaden, or transform the human experience and understanding of reality? How can more-than-human life expand our understanding of human identity by redefining boundaries between the individual and the collective? These questions form the basis of Lena Kuzmich’s research and artistic practice. Through explorations of multi-species worlds, Kuzmich intends to relearn how space is negotiated and communities are formed, thereby finding ways towards queer notions of kinship and our relation with the environment.
About the artist
Lena Kuzmich is a non-binary and multidisciplinary artist currently based between Amsterdam and Vienna. Their work, a fluid remix of photographic and videographic fragments taken from pop and subcultures, sketches alternate visions of society, where imaginative landscapes, hybrid representations of bodies, and technology all become a portal beyond preconceived notions about the world and our identity in it. As co-founder of the collective Transformative Narratives, Kuzmich initiates audio-visual performances on sympoietic world-building and radical care.
This artist is participating in Friday morning round table sessions, as part of the Context Programme.
