Lisette Ros (1991) is a (conceptual) performance artist from Amsterdam.
In her work she challenges conventions, routine behavior and banal acts and questions their self-evidence. Starting point of her work is the confrontation with herself; questioning and challenging her own bodily conditioning, lust for control and daily routine. As performance artist Ros uses herself to provide audiences with the same confrontation as she undergoes herself, both in body and spirit. Ros poses questions by doing.
Her critical findings are shared in live performances, performance video art, as installations or whichever form is suited best for transferring the research insights and confrontation.
