Aleksandra Valkova is a film, theatre-maker and performer currently training on the MA Theatre and Performance programme at Queen Mary University of London, while training in drama school at Collective Acting Studio London. Her practice moves between traditional and experimental performance, combining theatre, visual art, photography, and installation to explore themes of identity, embodiment, memory, and emotional inheritance.
Her most recent works include layered (2026), an exploration of generational trauma, repetition and material trace through a practice-based moving-image research and unfold (2026), a practice-led installation-performance investigating the same themes of generational trauma through the body using photography and projection.
layered (2026)
layered is a fifteen-minute experimental moving-image work exploring generational trauma through repetition, accumulation, materiality and duration. the project began with an interest in doubling: the possibility of representing an external self alongside an internal or inherited self.
unfold (2026)
unfold is a practice-led installation-performance investigating generational trauma and embodied identity. Working through fragmented photography, projection, and spatial encounter, the project explores how emotional inheritance persists through bodily trace, absence, and repetition.
threads of absence (2025)
durational live art performance
Threads of Absence is an experimental performance exploring grief and remembrance through fragmented narrative, embodied memory, and visual symbolism. The work examines how absence continues to shape presence and how love, loss, and memory remain threaded through the body and imagination.
