Vika Kirchenbauer
Vika Kirchenbauer (born 1983) is an artist, writer, filmmaker and music producer based in Berlin. In her work she examines violence as it attaches to different forms of visibility and invisibility, and considers the ways in which subjects are implicated in and situated within societal power structures. Often relating personal and collective memory/non-remembrance to the politics of spectatorship, Kirchenbauer's work continuously negotiates the role of affects in the field of contemporary art and questions the ways in which marginalized bodies become experienceable in exhibition spaces.
