ABOUT
Antonia Luxem is a London-based artist whose work has been shown at The Horse Hospital, London; BFI Flare, London; LUFF, Lausanne; Aesthetica Art Prize, York Art Gallery; B3 Biennale, Frankfurt; La Friche, Marseille; Gasworks, London; les abattoirs, Toulouse. Luxem's multifaceted practice – spanning film, writing, performance and painting – investigates different realities and embodied experiences to explore themes of human perception, existential anxiety, dreams, time travel, and queer identity, inviting viewers into richly layered mental landscapes that challenge conventional notions of time and presence.
Luxem is self-taught, an alumni of Open School East (2018), the FLAMIN (Film London) Fellowship (2019/2020) and was in residency at Gasworks. They have received grants towards films from the Arts Council England in 2020, 2021, 2023.
