& virtual spaces
exploring through making, play, performance and
immersive experience
Alexandra's studio is in Antwerp, Belgium. She has presented her work in solo exhibitions internationally and has been featured in publications and group shows across Europe. Her studies include a Bachelors degree in Humanities, a foundation degree from Bristol School of Art (UK) and a Masters in Visual Arts from Sint Lucas, Antwerp (BE). She enjoys collaborating in international and interdisciplinary projects, including immersive installations, performance, community art projects and residencies.
Alexandra uses a wide range of mediums to explore corporeality, flesh, sexuality and objectification. She works sculpturally, even in 2D, through creating layers of pattern and image. She tries to communicate the alienation that she feels from her body in this digital and capitalist age. She researches concepts of power and sensuality implicit in representations of women. She seeks and celebrates alternate means of embodiment.
Her installation, performative and collaborative works focus on the body in space and alternative ways of communicating. She aims to create new situations for intimacy and reflect upon contemporary trends of isolation. She looks at the role of the woman's body in society, where she has placed it on beds and in tiny spaces, turned it into furniture and used it to embody a virtual woman.
Working in the spaces between, personal and political, virtual and material, Alexandra tries to directly confront the audience though performance and interactive work. She deepens her artistic practice with teaching, writing and active participation in Belgium’s cultural sector.
