Nat Portnoy

Natalia Portnoy is a multidisciplinary queer artist, filmmaker and activist born in Poland in 1987, and is currently based in the Netherlands. Natalia Portnoy works with mediums such as video, installation, object, photography and painting. Her projects are mainly based on theories of sociocultural construction. She is interested in examining the cognitive processes of pleasure, exploring its connotations with self-representation, identity, ritual and the complexity of language used to determine desire. In her artistic practice she likes to refer to existing ideologies and beliefs, examining them through the knowledge of a collective and personal experience.
