K. Willert

ARTIST STATEMENT

K. Willert is an interdisciplinary artist working with video, computer programming, installation, collage, and assemblage. Themes of queerness, desire, and discomfort run through their work alongside a deep interrogation of the nature of the trans body.

As a queer and nonbinary artist, K. uses their practice to process their experience in a world that is often hostile to people that fall outside the gender binary. Their work reflects the shifting and expansive nature of queerness itself. Whether through code, assemblage, or moving image, their work challenges rigid definitions and explores the fluidity of identity, embodiment, and perception.

At its core, K. Willert’s work is an insistence on presence—of trans bodies, of complexity, and of what it means to exist beyond the imposed narratives and structures that shape our lives.
