anan fries

digital + performing artist

about

Anan Fries is an interdisciplinary artist based in Berlin and Basel. They are interested in the gestation of hybrid aesthetics at the intersection of digital and performing arts. They like to use immersive technologies in order to render queer perspectives more visible. Their work is inspired by posthuman and xeno-feminist discourse and often circles around a fascination for motifs of transformation and reproduction. They co-founded and built up two companies, machina eX and Henrike Iglesias. Both companies are known for their experimental take on performing arts and have toured internationally.
