Ivana Vladislava was born in Poland, Wierzawice. She lives and works in Berlin, (DE).

Ivana Vladislava has established herself as a subversive icon across the fashion and club scene, social media, and as a trans activist, performer, and muse. In her debut exhibition Digital Hybris, Ivana Vladislava transforms the gallery into a seductive, overstimulated space of excess and satire. Covering the white cube entirely in leopard print, she stages a maximalist environment in which digitally collaged self-portraits are hung, draped, and suspended like relics of a surreal glamour.

Drawing from post-Soviet aesthetics, influencer culture, and social media performance, Vladislava constructs an exaggerated persona—a camp femme icon both hyper-visible and emotionally untouchable. Her work exposes how bodies, especially female and trans bodies, are commodified, fetishized, ridiculed, and consumed. Through theatrical over-identification and deliberate bad taste, she reclaims control, turning objectification into resistance.

Vladislava presents her new series Sexy Gurken in the current group exhibition When Form Becomes Attitude. Sexy Gurken is a set of miniature self-portraits preserved in jars: grotesque, playful doppelgängers in which the self multiplies both materially and metaphorically.
