My art is here… because of community because everything is always in relation to because of society because of the inner urge to create because of the urge to contribute to change because I need to be in contact with people because we forgot too often to really talk because we unlearned how to listen – to humans and even more to nature because ecology is a broad word because there is power in storytelling because I’m here because I’m queer because sometimes things rhyme nicely because sometimes things need disruption because of sharing because of caring because of memories because of hope because conversations broaden the perspective/horizon/self/work because because connecting is crucial because feedback can help to bring an idea further because together we are more and stronger because there can be filming without objectifying because we need a queer gaze because art is my language because my voice matters because your voice matters because we are all humans because we are in this together.
THIS
My name is Vicky or Viktoria. My pronouns are they/them or dey/denen/deren. I was born in Landshut, DE.
Performance art, videography, installations: these are the fields in which I move transdisciplinary artistically - next to my artistic practice in storytelling. I have a master's degree in Performance Practices from the ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem, NL and I am currently working on projects all over Europe.
THAT
Audience participation as well as the scenic research of the environment and spaces are recurring core elements of my work. My projects aim to contribute to a thriving cultural landscape with socially relevant topics and innovative formats, while evoking, inspiring and touching people.
