Melanie Jame Wolf is a Berlin-based visual artist and choreographer. She works solo and with friends, making interdisciplinary works about power, flows of capital and the pervasive phenomenon of “show business”. She explores these economies and entanglements in works for gallery, theater and screen spaces. She approaches installation and the moving image as an extended choreographic practice, using humor as a strategy for critical possibility and working with language in subliminal and surprising ways. Her first solo performance, Mira Fuchs, premiered at the 2015 Tanztage Berlin at Sophiensæle. Her recent works for the stage include TONIGHT (Sophiensæle, 2019) and SHOW BUSINESS (2021). Her recent solo exhibitions include Two Years Elapse Between the Third and Fourth Act at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin and The Creep at feldfünf, Berlin. savage-amusement.com
