Liz Rosenfeld  

Liz Rosenfeld (b.1979, USA/DE) is a Berlin based visual and performance artist who works in film/video, performance, and experimental writing practice. Liz addresses the sustainability of emotional and political ecologies, cruising methodologies, past and future histories in regard to the ways in which memory is queered. Liz's work deals with flesh as a non-binary collaborative material, specifically focussing on the potentiality of physical abundance and excess, approaching questions regarding the responsibility and privilege of taking up space. Embracing an auto- theoretical style, Liz's writing is rooted in questions that contend with how queer ontologies are grounded in variant hypocritical desire(s.)

Liz's films and performances have shown in international museums and venues including The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw., The Forum Expanded Program of the 2022 Berlinale, Antifestval, Bärenzwinger Berlin, Mousonturm, Tanzhaus nrw, Kampnagel, 2019 Bergen Assembly,Berlinischer Galerie, Mapa Teatro, Sophiensæle, The Hebbel am Ufer Theatre, The Gorki Theater, Arts Admin, Galerie Emanuel Layr, The Tate Modern, The Hammer Museum, The Leslie Lohman Museum, The Barbican Centre, The CAC- Glasgow, Tramway, The Stedelijk Museum, The C/O Gallery, and The Deutsches Historisches Museum.
