Bio
Lux Valladolid is an Argentinian artist currently based in Basel, Switzerland. With a background in Communication Sciences, her practice explores the tension between the digital and the physical, examining how technology shapes contemporary life. Through performance and constructed personas, she investigates presence within public and institutional spaces. Her current body of work is being further developed in Switzerland through a series of site-specific interventions, including Kunstmuseum Basel and Kunstforum Baloise Park during Art Basel 2025. The ongoing research began during her residency at Atelier Mondial (March–May 2025), supported by the Swiss Arts Council, Pro Helvetia South America.
