MAREN MICHAELIS

Zora Vipera, Citizen of the Cosmos is a multidisciplinary Artist based in Switzerland. 

 

SINCE JUNE 2007 INDEPENDENT AND WORKING WORLDWIDE AS AN AVANT-GARDE VISIONARY.

 

She works in the fields of performing arts, costume design, multimedia, sound art and olfactory alchemy.

 

The work is shaped around psychedelic culture, a manifestation of liberty, change and strong willingness to express all emotions without fear of exploring the unconscious, honoring the beautiful and the ugly alike. In her art she penetrates deeply into the essence of transformation and explores in it the power of archetypal figures. At the center of her practice is the body, which functions as a means of deconstructing conventions.

​

Background in Circus, Freakshow and Cabaret, specialised in Fire Performance.

​

Her works have been shown at various locations such as KEE Club for Art Basel Hong Kong, Kunsthalle Fridericianum Kassel, Olympia Hall London, Café de Paris London, Mark Divo Institute Prague, Stadttheater Klagenfurt, Cabaret Voltaire Zurich, Theaterspektakel Zurich, Kunsthaus Zurich, Kunsthalle Bern and many more.
