Dress Up 5, 2026 from the series Dress Up © Martine Gutierrez

Is an artist born or made? Is a person’s identity set from birth, or discovered later? Martine Gutierrez addresses these questions in a large-scale solo exhibition, Wunderkind, emphasising the importance of creativity and expression – qualities that characterised her childhood and made her the internationally celebrated artist she has since become.

An interdisciplinary artist, Martine Gutierrez works with photography, video, music and performance. Through self-portraiture and cinematic tableaus she reimagines identity, not only as material but also as method. At the 58th Venice Biennale she captured the global art world’s attention with a series of shape-shifting self-portraits in which her body serves as the focus of transformation and critique. ‘Identity is a performance,’ she says. ‘With a bit of practice you can be almost anything.’
