Agnes Questionmark (Rome, Italy, 1995) is an artist working across performance, sculpture, video and installation. Her practice examines the self's boundaries through genetic experiments, surgical operations and artificial reproductive processes whereby identity becomes unsettled. By forcing her body and her audiences into spaces where humanity fails to assert its normative demands, Questionmark disrupts the biopolitical implications of transgender and transpecies bodies in a human-dominated world.
Her recent performances include CHM13hTERT (2023), in a public train station at railway station at SpazioSERRA in Milan and TRANSGENESIS (2021), presented by The Orange Garden and Harlesden High Street in London. Her work was exhibited at the 60th Biennale Venice Biennale curated by Adriano Pedrosa; at the Centre d'Art Contemporain, Geneva; at the MAXXI Museum, Rome; the Malta Biennale, Valletta; and the 14th Gwangju Biennale.
In 2024 she was selected as a finalist for the 5th Mario Merz Prize, the Darmo Art Prize and the Stromboli Prize. In 2022 she was selected as a finalist in the CIRCA ART X DAZED Class of 2022. In 2019 she was selected to participate in the Midwater Residency in collaboration with Studio Forlane on the island of Poros, Greece. In the same year, she exhibited in the ancient city of Cosa, Ansedonia, for the first chapter of HYPERMAREMMA. In 2017 she received the 'Lorenzo Il Magnifico' award at the Florence Biennale in the category Performance Art.
Her writings have been published in NERO Edition with which she recently published her first book 'QuestionGen(0.00022ml)' presented at the ICA in Milan.
