Antonia Wright is a multidisciplinary artist based in Miami, FL. Wright creates aestheticized extreme gestures using her own body as an artistic tool. Her works negotiate the boundary between performance, video art, photography, and poetry, questioning social norms through physical actions combining danger with beauty, aggression with vulnerability. Her ultimate goal is to restore a sense of immediacy to the audience encounter and elicit emotion and concern for the other. Her projects range from performing tai chi covered in 15,000 bees, throwing her naked body through a pane of glass, pouring paint in her eye, or falling through a hole in the ice on a frozen lake.
