Valerie Reding
Accomplice
Valerie Reding is a performer, choreographer and transdisciplinary artist based in Zurich.
After their training in ballet and modern dance in Luxembourg, they studied Architecture and Media Arts in Zurich, Vienna and San Francisco, worked internationally as a makeup artist in fashion and created their drag alter-ego VulVenim - a seductive and poisonous shapeshifter. Today, they combine all these experiences in their eclectic artistic practice combining movement, performance, photography, video, text and installation. They are also the creative director of WET DREAMZ - a queer-feminist party with various artistic interventions to empower all bodies and identities.
Intrigued by the complex entanglements of the body, human psychology, interpersonal relationships and the power relations that permeate our societies and identities, Valerie explores the potential of vulnerability, auto-fiction, togetherness, transformation and camp to work on questions around subjectivity and relationality with an intersectional approach.
