Vi

Vi Reichel is a multidisciplinary artist working with moving images, new media and movement. She explores long-term natural changes, ecological narratives and speculative futures by blurring boundaries between art, technology and geography.

In her practice, she always develops a deeply embodied approach to relate to the unknown, more-than-human world, and ongoing processes across time and space.
She looks for ways to evoke a sense of care and empathy for something/ someone/ somewhere new. Fascinated by subtle shifts, she approaches them with softness and care, making them visible and tangible for the audience. She encounters the world through movement.

Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Galeria -m (Poland), Emerging Exits | Diogenes Bunker (The Netherlands), SIM Residency (Iceland) and Melting Points (London).

After 12 years of competitive figure skating, she continued her exploration of movement and its relation to the body in contemporary dance at Tanztheater Leipzig. In 2023, she completed her bachelor's degree in Physical Geography at the University of Leipzig, specialising in the remote sensing analysis of forest fires and began studying Moving Image and Design Art Technology at ArtEZ University of the Arts.
