Valeria Abendroth

My work explores transhumanism and the evolving nature of humanity, particularly in relation to technological advancements that reshape both body and mind. Using artificial materials, including those from medicine, I create installations, sculptures, and video works that evoke both fascination and discomfort. This ambivalence invites reflection on the impact of technological progress and the shifting boundaries between the organic and the artificial.

 

National and international exhibitions and residencies have taken place at cultural institutions dedicated to the intersection of art and digital media, including S+T+ARTS Residencies, the Kiblix Festival, and renowned venues such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Anna Nova Gallery in St. Petersburg, Heidelberger Kunstverein, and the Museum of Communication Bern.
