Statement:
Exchange and discourse formats are becoming part of my artistic material. I see my daily practice more like a fieldwork by engaging myself in conversations and discussions and following my curiosity. A big part of this fieldwork takes place in dance improvisation influenced by the urban dance community and its activist aspect.
I am looking for something that is constructible like an environment for an action, or an action for an environment. At this point I develop new narratives and contexts, where I implement awareness for the way the human race acts in its environment. In my artistic practice, I observe urban and postindustrial environments focusing on chorographical quality of daily routines. I am interested in the togetherness of body and space, considering that every movement hides a moment of irritation.
Often, I do research trips – It is important to me that my work has a space-opening component, and does not just take place in the designated theater space. All the developed projects are done in collaboration with other artists, designers, activists, dancers and audience – And that collaboration is based on mutual appreciation and empowerment. As an artist I feel the urge of being a platform.

BIO
Daria Nazarenko (she/her) is a cinemato-performer moving between film stills and subcultures. By staging bodies and cameras, she highlights the hidden dynamics of social life. Her works encompass multimedia video installations, hybrid dance films, and site-specific live performances.
Her artistic practice was significantly influenced by her travels to Senegal from 2021 to the present, where she felt the urge to involve a non-western collective approach through programs at "École des Sables" integrating diverse cultural perspectives.
Her artistic practice includes curating urban spaces into museum-like environments, with happenings at the Stadtmuseum Düsseldorf, as well as in Moscow the not-found-Gallery and in Paris at the Beaux-Arts-Ateliers. Currently she is curating permamently at the Gemeinde Köln with the focus on happenings in public spaces. Her works have been showcased in institutions such as PACT Zollverein, K21 Düsseldorf, Sotheby's Cologne and at tanzhaus nrw. Through her interdisciplinary approach, she enriches the contemporary art scene and fosters dialogue about identity, honoring her own migrational narrative.
