Agnese Cebere is an interdisciplinary artist working across video, photography, performance, and installation. She is concerned with the philosophical implications of perception and cognition in relation to embodiment and technology, as well as the performativity of the art object in the space of the exhibition and the implementation of the kinaesthetic field of both performer and audience. Whether using costume or camera to enact an altered perception and feel differently, her work stems from improvisation and explorations of site.
Originally from Latvia, Agnese Cebere grew up in Sweden, and earned her BA in Intermedia Art at Edinburgh College of Art, Scotland. She graduated with an MA in Media Studies from The New School in New York in 2018, where her research focused on embodiment and technology as they converge in screendance.
She is now based in Eugene, Oregon, where she works as an instructor in Art at the University of Oregon. She served as Program Director at Eugene Contemporary Art from 2019–2023 and graduated with an MFA in Art from the University of Oregon in 2022. She is currently a member of Ditch Projects.
