About

Victoria (b. 1998, McAllen, Texas) is an identity-based artist working across video, performance, sound, sculpture, and installation. Often the central figure in their videos, they explore the relationship between the everyday and the body, addressing universal themes of memory, home, and love. Their video installations are vibrant and dreamlike, reflecting their hope to leave the world more beautiful than it was before. Victoria continuously discovers new ways to explore self-portraits, blurring the lines between performance and documentation.

Born and raised along the US/Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley, Victoria draws inspiration from their unique culture and upbringing. Their work weaves together elements of Mexican pop culture, traditions, and daily life, serving as both a tribute to and exploration of their heritage. In addition to research and pulling from personal experiences, play is also essential in their practice. Through video performance, Victoria explores their Queer and non-binary identity by experimenting with makeup, costumes, and personas to reimagine themselves and their place in the world. These layered identities directly inform the layers in their work, which exist in constant dialogue with one another—always intertwined.
