La Désertrice

Dunes Kiefer is a French performance artist based between Paris and Beijing. Her work combines movement, installation, and improvisation to explore the body’s relation to space, memory, and structures of control.

Using lightweight and transformable materials such as paper, fabric, wax, and sculptural elements, she creates immersive performance environments that evolve over time. Her practice emphasizes tension, fragility, and spatial transformation, while remaining focused on gesture, atmosphere, and live presence.

Her performances are non-narrative and sensory, shaped by light, sound, texture, and movement. Coming from an independent artistic background, she develops work through experimentation and material research rather than fixed choreographic systems.
