Born in Austria, Florentina Holzinger has established herself as a prominent figure in contemporary performance art and choreography. Based in the Netherlands, she has developed a distinct practice that blends dance, theater, and performance art, often utilizing nude, all-female ensembles to challenge traditional stage conventions.
Her work is characterized by its physical intensity and the exploration of the human body's limits. She frequently incorporates elements of ritual and spectacle, creating immersive environments that interrogate the intersection of performance and visual art.
Holzinger continues to receive significant international recognition for her ambitious projects. In 2026, she was selected to represent Austria at the 61st Venice Biennale, where she developed an interdisciplinary project titled SEAWORLD VENICE, featuring live installations and site-specific performances.
