Mira Fuchs
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 choreographer, writer, and visual artist who lives in Berlin. She works solo and with friends, making interdisciplinary pieces about power, flows of capital, and the phenomenon of 'show business': the liminal, the persuasive, the deceptive, the staged, the performed. Her work is concerned with the problems and poetics of class, sensuality, gender, narratology, and the body as an unruly political riddle. These investigations are often expressed through a hyper-stylised pop aesthetic and play 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, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Kunstmuseum Basel, Institute of Modern Art Brisbane, and Schirn Kunsthalle. She was a nominee of the 2022 Berlin Art Prize.
