Kuba Falk (b. 1984, Poland) is an intermedia artist and performer whose work spans performance, photography, installation, video, and music. Drawing on ecofeminist thought, mythology, and transgression, his “bodytales” — live performative actions — investigate displacement, intimacy, embodiment, and the entanglement of human and non-human worlds. He uses provocative gesture to juxtapose a paradigm of care with the reality of a technocratic dystopia, occupying a space between theatrical practice, visual art, and conceptual action.
His recent projects have explored migration and refuge-seeking (Invasive Species, Norayama, Joaninha); desire and intimacy in technology-dominated realities (Deep Moon, Pluto); power dynamics and mechanisms of domination (Leave Your Worries at the Door); and plant-centered, non-anthropocentric narratives (Plantcestors Say I & II, Invasive Species, Norayama).
Falk has presented his work internationally at venues and festivals including Baryshnikov Arts Center and Grace Exhibition Space in New York; The Watermill Center, Long Island; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; Defibrillator Gallery, Chicago; Watts Festival, Porto; Art in Nature Festival, Austria; and Stre!fen Performance Art Festival, Görlitz, among many others across Europe and the Americas. He lives and works in Poland.
