Alex Dermatis is my real name and I am a performance artist. I live and work in Berlin Kreuzberg continuously for 10 years. Through the years, I have indulged in the fields of aerial acrobatics, rope bondage, somatic bodywork and kundalini yoga.

​​

Since 2016 I have been a resident performance artist in the KitKatClub. I present my work there live, in the early hours of every Sunday.

​​

Before moving to Berlin, I had spent 14 years living in London. I studied History of Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, (2002-2007), and then I worked for artists and companies that focused on site-responsive performance, from immersive experimental theatre, to late-night performance events, to museum & gallery-based performance art. During that period, I worked for the Shunt collective (Shunt Lounge 2008-2010), Tino Seghal (Tate Modern 2012 & Athens Roman Agora 2014) and Oreet Ashery (ArtAngel's Party for Freedom 2013).

​

In the summer of 2015 I came to Berlin, I met Felix Ruckert, and he introduced me to rope bondage.

I was born and grew up in Athens, Greece.
