Since 2006, German artist Verena Stenke, and Venetian artist, writer, and curator Andrea Pagnes have been working together under the name of VestAndPage. Working with performance art, film, visual art, writing, and as independent curators, they have presented across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Playing with themes of precariousness, transformation, liminality, and authenticity, their practice examines the fragility of the individual in private, social, and environmental spheres. VestAndPage strive to explore the capacity of human beings and give birth to places that don’t yet exist. Their performances are process-based, psychogeographic responses to architectures, environments, and historical sites. VestAndPage often collaborate with international theatre companies and humanitarian organizations in their productions and pedagogical work. They also teach workshops that focus on memory; awakening a person’s inner library for creative use.
