About
Cornelius is a conceptual artist working in poetics, choreography, image and objects. Their work trembles between genres and is densely implicitly queer (…stop asking), political (…stop asking), and moves toward queer liberatory futures (…stop asking!). They started walking on stage on purpose at age 5, and by accident ever since.
They have made work in many places and with many people (you know who you are).
