Sunny Pfalzer is a performance and visual artist, a Freediver, a Go-Go-Girl and a Slug. Whether they perform on stage, sew textile sculptures, hold a camera, or choreograph for public spaces, their approach is always bodily and felt. Sunny depicts how body language and clothes can construct statements. Sunny transforms their practice into various mediums. Costumes become sculptures, live performances translated into video works, installations mutate to social spaces. Facilitating workshops and collaborating is an integral part of Sunny’s practice, as these formats provide time and space to share knowledge, lived experience, time to reflect and unlearn together. Sunny’s recent presentations include KW Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin, Kunsthalle Vienna, Shedhalle Zurich, Les Urbaines Lausanne, Wiener Festwochen, and Centro Gulbenkian Lisbon. Sunny worked as a lecturer at art academies, including Städelschule Frankfurt and Academy of fine arts Vienna.
