Artist BIO
Nikita Berezko (he/they, b. 2001) is a Lithuanian artist based between the Netherlands and Lithuania, working across performance, VJing, coding, choreography, and sound. Their practice engages with failure, noise, and the unstable processes of meaning-making through glitch, bodily exhaustion, text, and misused technologies.
After studying philosophy and classical philology at Vilnius University, Nikita continued with a BA in Dance at ArtEZ University of the Arts (NL), where they developed a research-driven artistic practice. Until now, they have mostly worked as a performer and sound designer, participating in works presented at venues and festivals such as the Vilnius Biennial of Performance Art (LT), The Sound of C (BEL), Uitnacht Arnhem (NL) and De Pont Museum (NL) among others.
Since 2024, Nikita has shifted focus towards developing their own work. Their process prioritizes research and slow forms of art-making, resisting coherence and linearity in favor of improvisation and choreo-acoustic experimentation.
Currently, Nikita is an artist-in-residence at the Future Storytelling Lab (Zwolle), where they are pursuing a techno-somatic research on mourning, techno-nostalgia, and ruin pornography.
