Mira Fuchs is the public face of artist Melanie Jame Wolf’s eightyear private life as a stripper. By drawing on the specific vocabularies of this bodily practice, she questions ideas surrounding gender, sexuality, performative intimacy, and dance as labour.

Melanie Jame Wolf is a visual artist and choreographer who lives in Berlin. She works solo and with friends, making interdisciplinary pieces about power, flows of capital, and the phenomenon of “show business.” She examines these economies and entanglements in works for gallery, theater, and screen spaces. Approaching installation and moving image as an expanded choreographic practice, she is invested in humor as a strategy for critical possibility and in working with language in subliminal and surprising ways.
Her work has shown at HAU - Hebbel am Ufer; Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, nGbK, The National 2019: New Australian Art Biennial, Festival of Live Art Melbourne, VAEFF Film Festival NYC, Arts Santa Monica Barcelona, Schwules Museum, Sophiensaele, Münchner Kammerspiele, Arts House Melbourne; KW Institute of Contemporary Art, Kunstmuseum Basel - Gegenwart, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Kunstmuseum Basel, Kasseler Dokfest & Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane. Melanie Jame was one of 8 nominees for the Berlin Art Prize 2022. savage-amusement.com
