Renen is an artist and choreographer in the crossing fields of performance art, installation, playwriting, and video. Their works mainly reflect on processes of art-making, authorship, institutional critique and personal memory. They have presented stage pieces and visual installations in Germany, Finland, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and Brazil.

​

Renen worked in artistic collaborations with Jeremy Shaw (57th Venice Art Biennale; Centre Pompidou), Boudry/Lorenz (MUDAM Luxembourg), Lia Rodrigues (Favela da Maré, Rio de Janeiro),  Boris Nikitin (Kaserne Basel; Wiener Festwochen), Julian Weber, deufert&plischke, Dafna Maimon and many more. As a performer for others, they are curious about embodying somebody else's vision and interpreting it into one's own.

​

They hold a BA in dance, context and choreography from HZT Berlin (UdK), an MFA in contemporary art practices from the Work.Master program at HEAD Geneva, and a Meister degree in projected image and installation under the guidance of Wendelien van Oldenborgh at HfK Bremen. They live and work in Germany, where they are often mistaken for Renana from the showbiz duo Celine and Renana.
