sculptor biohack agnes questionmark tentacular trans 1234742280

Agnes Questionmark, a multimedia performance artist based in Brooklyn, creates work exploring the trans body—encompassing transgender, transhuman, and trans-species identity—often with an aquatic, tentacular aesthetic. During a studio visit at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, she showed recent fabric works overpainted with acrylic and silicone, depicting organs in vivid reds and oranges. Her performances include TRANSGENESIS (2021), a 23-day endurance piece at Harlesden Highstreet in London, and CHM13hTERT (2023), a 16-day installation in a Milan subway station where she was suspended in a mermaid-like tail. She also produced an artist's edition, QuestionGen (2024), containing a capsule of her own DNA, made with biohacker Josie Zayner and publisher Nero.
