Lux Valladolid (Argentina) is a performance and visual artist who investigates how contemporary life choreographs our bodies within private, public and institutional contexts. Her practice oscillates between constructed personas to explore agency and programmed behaviors. 

Her research has been presented in museums and academic environments, including Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA) and Kunstmuseum Basel. Her ongoing research Are You an NPC? began during her residency at Atelier Mondial in Switzerland, supported by Pro Helvetia, Swiss Arts Council South America, and culminated in a large-scale performance at Kunstforum Baloise Park during the Art Basel city program in 2025. 

Alongside her artistic practice, Valladolid has worked in communication and creative direction within cultural and artistic contexts. This experience informs her interest in mediation, visibility, and audience behavior, and supports the conceptual framework of her performance-based research.
