© Christian Lauer
Born in London, Helena Eribenne has been an integral figure in the Viennese art and performance scene for years. Her works reside at the interface between theatre, performance, film, and photography and are always rooted in a sociopolitical context.

Olivia Jaques studied visual and media arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and at the Bauhaus University Weimar. She was also trained in the Feldenkrais Method. She has been teaching at the Zurich University of the Arts since 2014. Since 2016 she has also been working for artasfoundation, a Swiss foundation for art in conflict regions. Together with Marlies Surtmann she founded the performance platform Performatorium - Labor für zeitgenössische performative Praxis in 2017. She is part of the AG Performative Archive (PANCH), where she organises a series of discursive events (2017-2019) on the archiving of ephemeral arts together with Margarit von Büren, Pascale Grau, Tabea Lurk, Valerian Maly and Julia Wolf.
