XENIA ENDE - NEUROTRANSVERSE PERFORMATIONS
XENIA - THE MUSICAL (2023- )
museumsbahnsteig, oberhausen,
The performance focuses on the performer's journey through the layers of being told. Of muteness, frustration and psychic damage, through the re-finding of the body and meaningful world reference within a trans-feminist multiplication. The pain becomes sharper, the fears more encompassing, and the joy of life possible: trans*formative gender and autonomous gendering is the starting and ending point of a constructive experience of the world, beyond gender boundaries.

TWO LESBIANS CHANGE THE ROAD, BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO
(2023- )
koex e.v., düsseldorf
The exhibition deals with political readings of gender, based on the fractured view of a gender transition experience. In her works, the artist looks back at her body from various distances, turning it into an artifact of a formal encounter between conceptual domination and emancipatory experience. Binary traumas and trans-affective re-appropriations are replaced by queer allegories that lead to de-subjectivized poetic passages and political self-determination. For the exhibition "Two lesbians change the road, but don't know where to go", the artist relates visual works from different phases of her transition and invites visitors to pick up on her loose ends from an emancipatory perspective.

Jenseits der (Geschlechter-)Grenzen
TO THE OCEANS OF LOVE (2023- )
mom.artspace + imagine the city, hh
The performance disentangles reasons and emotions for a final time. It will be all very obvious when the head-patterns, forming rhythms, leaving traces, racing pegasus heartbeats and raving crowds of long loved demons join in for a celebration of the unknown, which is in no way foreign and in all ways leading to the oceans of love.

NO ID
NO ID - ANTI-IDENTITÄRE AKTION (2016-2018)
*kampnagel, hamburg
"The anti-identitarian action is performative-political action and, due to its post-mystical style (beyond religious thinking, yet located in a paradoxical - split in its own difference - thirdness of emptiness), is an atomistic, post-individualistic attack on the discourse of oppression."

Lipstick Traces
LIPSTICK TRACES ON A CIGARETTE (2014 - 2016)
*kitev, oberhausen
"Lipstick Traces On A Cigarette" by RoxXy Xhaos (Rosh Zeeba feat. Xenia Ende) comprises video art, spatial and object art and a performative stage form. In terms of aesthetic content, the form flirts with trash art/camp and high art. Anchor points of the work are cinema of transgression and drag culture, dandyism and boredom, showgirls without dancing, uncanny double appearances and political shizophrenia. Authorship and sampling, the application of theory to one's own body, deliberate tracing, exaggeration and withdrawal, geometry and colors, icons and animism. The work is inspired by Greil Marcus' "Lipstick Traces" - especially with regard to the interplay of gnosis & revolution in the Situationist International - as well as Silvia Federici's "Caliban and the Witch".
