Agnes Questionmark (1995) born in Rome and graduated in London from the Fine Arts program of Camberwell College of Arts (2018) is now living and working in New York. Using performance, installation, sculpture and photography, Agnes Questionmark creates immersive habitats that question the human body and its relationship with the sea. Through placing her body in an environment that is unnatural, Agnes Questionmark’s brings the viewer on a journey towards its root, questioning their genesis and presenting uncertain future potentialities of becoming.
Adhering to this posthumanist dialectic, if our biological makeup is defined by our complex relationship with the environment and the inevitable genome mutation, Questionmark poses the following questions: Will we evolve according to environmental events? Will organic posthumanism, or rather, the idea of transformation through biological means become a viable future?
Through her long durational performances Questionmark performs an act of resistance and resilience against the human body, announcing the birth of a new species, whose gender and human identity is yet undefinable. Agnes Questionmark has exhibited in several cities in Europe, including Rome, Istanbul, Barcelona and London. Her most recent projects include a performance at FOROF curated by Soundwalk Collective, a site specific performance at Casa Flash Art (Milan), her solo show TRANSGENESIS presented by The Orange Garden in partnership with Harlesden High Street and Underground Flower (London) and the performance Il Cappello del Polpo at Palazzo Massimo in Rome.
In 2022 she was selected as finalist of Circa Art prize x Dazed and was invited to participate to PerformIstanbul's residency program. In 2019 she was selected to be part of the Midwater Residency in collaboration with Studio Forlane on the island of Poros, Greece. In the same year she exhibited in the Ancient City of Cosa, Ansedonia, for the second chapter of HYPERMAREMMA, The Submerged City. In 2017 she was awarded the "Lorenzo Il Magnifico" prize at the Florence Biennale in the Performance Art category.
Questionmark is currently attending a MFA at the Pratt Institute (New York) for which she has been awarded a Merit Scholarship.
