Victoria Sin

Victoria Sin is a London-based artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans performance, video, writing, and drag. Their work focuses on exploring the politics of desire, body image, and gender identity, often challenging societal norms and conventional representations of femininity. By blending fiction with autobiography, Sin uses their own body as a site for exploring and deconstructing gender binaries, creating performances that push the boundaries of identity and self-expression.Sin’s use of drag is a central element in their work, allowing them to perform exaggerated versions of femininity and highlight the performative nature of gender itself. Their performances often explore the intersections of fantasy, desire, and reality, drawing attention to how identities are constructed and perceived in a world that tends to enforce rigid norms. Through these provocative acts, Sin invites audiences to reflect on the fluidity of gender and the complexity of self-representation.One of their most notable works is the performance series Narrative Reflections on Looking, in which Sin addresses themes of visibility and invisibility, particularly for those who exist outside mainstream gender norms. Through carefully crafted monologues, Sin reflects on personal experiences of desire, shame, and visibility, intertwining them with larger cultural narratives. This piece showcases their ability to combine deeply personal reflections with critical theory, offering viewers a nuanced examination of the social dynamics of looking and being looked at.Victoria Sin’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale, the Serpentine Galleries, and the Hayward Gallery in London. Their practice continues to push the boundaries of art and performance by challenging traditional notions of identity, representation, and power, making them a significant voice in contemporary discussions around gender, queerness, and desire.
