Vika Kirchenbauer is an artist, writer and music producer based in Berlin. In her work she explores opacity in relation to representation of the ‘othered’ and discusses the role of emotions in contemporary art, labor and politics. With particular focus on affective subject formation, she examines violence as it attaches to different forms of visibility and invisibility, and considers the ways in which subjects are implicated in and situated within institutional power structures. Her film UNTITLED SEQUENCE OF GAPS was shown together with Matata at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival’s Forum Expanded section
