Andrea Pagnes

Artist and writer Andrea Pagnes (he/him) and artist Verena Stenke (she/they) have worked together as VestAndPage since 2006. Their backgrounds in philosophy, performance, theatre studies, literature and art criticism provide the intellectual foundations for their collaborative and contextual artistic practice, theoretical research, curation and temporary artistic community projects, such as the Venice International Performance Art Week. They explore performance art and performance-based film as manifestations of thin place phenomena, where the visible and the invisible entwine. Their ‘Poetics of Relations’ examines notions of temporality, fragility, endurance, pain sublimation and risk-taking, approaching the human body as an experiential device for artistic creation. Their works have been presented internationally. They are lecturers at ArtEZ University of the Arts (NL) and UNIDEE Academy (IT), and they received the Best Film Award at the Berlin Independent Film Festival (2018).
