Ann Antidote

In their words: Ann Antidote

Ann Antidote is a shibari performer and prolific DIY artist, active in video, installation, and sound, mostly in collaboration or in temporary autonomous zones. She has been active in the politics of anti-discrimination including but not limited to addressing queer, polyamorous, sex-positive lives as valid and respect-deserving options. This political work and the criticism that follows permeate her artistic work in Berlin, where she lives, and beyond. Her work has been presented world wide, in contexts ranging -and without distinction - from squats, sex-parties to art biennales and galleries. Not regretting a former life in Physics, she quit her non-art-related day job in 2009, and brought most of these projects under the protective group umbrella "The Strange Life of the Savages" as full-time occupations. Currently she is busy with recently grounded noise/improvisation project (Pausa A Pausa) and finishing a couple of films and performances, almost all in cooperation with others.
