Liz Rosenfeld

Liz Rosenfeld (b.1979, USA/DE) is a Berlin based artist who works in film/video, live
performance and experimental discursive writing practices. Liz explores 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 performance
work approaches 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. 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 is one of the members of Berlin based film collective,
nowMomentnow. Liz’s films are represented by Video Data Bank and LUX Moving
Image. Liz has received numerous grants for their performance and moving image
work. Liz’s 360 degree immersive planetarium film was nominated for the Teddy
Award/ Best Experimental Short at the 2022 Berlinale Film Festival. Liz was a
shortlisted/ nominated artist for the 2022 Performance/Live Art Anti Festival Short
List Live Award in Finland. Liz’s films and performances have shown in various
international museums and venues including 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
