Liz Rosenfeld (US/DE)

Liz Rosenfeld is a Berlin based interdisciplinary-artist and educator who works with the mediums of film/video, live performance and experimental discursive writing practices. Liz explores the sustainability of emotional and political ecologies, cruising methodologies, and past/future histories in regard to the ways in which memory is queered. Liz’s moving image and performance work approaches flesh as a non-binary collaborative material, specifically focussing on the potentiality of physical abundance and excess, regarding questions connected to the responsibility and privilege of taking up space. Departing from the personal, Liz’s writing is rooted in questions that contend with how queer ontologies are rooted in variant hypocritical desire(s).

Liz received an MFA in Performance from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005, followed by an MA from The Department of Performance Studies at New York University in 2007. Liz was the 2017 Goethe-Institut artist in residence at LUX Moving Image in London. Liz’s films are represented by Video Data Bank and LUX Moving Image. Liz’s films and performances have shown in various international museums and venues including 2022 Berlinale International Film Festival, Berlinische Galerie, Mapa Teatro, Sophiensæle, The Hebbel am Ufer Theatre, The Gorki Theatre, 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.
