About

Artist · Filmmaker · Writer · Librettist · Researcher. Lives and works in Berlin.

Aneta Panek is a Berlin based performance artist, film maker, writer, librettist and researcher, working in the fields of performance, opera, and film. Recurrent themes include alchemy, transmutation, subversion and rebellion as means of self-discovery.

Her work, based on other knowledge and performative research, is about the necessity of visualization and associative speculation in formulating and deconstructing theories and questioning reality.

While her practice culminates in experimental film, she also stages live performances and operas to challenge the existing norms of performing knowledge.
