Zoe Bertram (she/her), born in Berlin in 1998, works at the intersection of space, image, and performance. Her practice is shaped by influences from architecture, film, photography, and dance, which she combines in interdisciplinary, staged works.

She has lived in Athens and Zurich and studied architecture at the Berlin University of the Arts (BA, 2023). Even during her studies, her focus shifted primarily to set design in a film context, with contributions to various graduation productions, including at the Film University Babelsberg and the DFFB Berlin.

This was followed by work in theater, film, and opera, including internships in stage design at the Deutsches Theater Berlin and the Schauspielhaus Zürich. She worked as an assistant for the children’s opera at the Berlin State Opera, designed costumes for “Oleanna” at the Renaissance Theater, and worked as a junior set design assistant for the television series “Doppelhaushälfte.”

In her artistic work, she explores real and imaginary spaces, which she understands as narrative and transformative elements. In this process, the emotional inner space serves as a central source of inspiration and a metaphor for her spatial translations. She is interested in collaborative processes and the development of spaces that facilitate exchange and make artistic and political questions visible.
