ABOUT

Liz Zumin is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in London. Her practice investigates themes surrounding the affective capacities of the body, including voice hearing, suggestion, and intuition. In 2012, she undertook a period of research in the Salento peninsula of southern Italy, where she developed work in response to the ancient rituals of possession, mourning, and magic.

This research considered how the body in crisis seeks transformation as a temporary release from the conforming mannerisms that constitute individuals as members of the social body.

She is currently developing a poetic dialogue of gestures, considering the immaterial body and the subtle movements that take place between presence and non-being.

Liz Zumin‘s performances have featured in exhibitions and festivals in the UK and Europe. More recently, she performed at the Month of Performance Art (Berlin), the Borderline Festival (Norwich), and the Totemic Festival at the Freud Museum in London.
