Natalia Orendain del Castillo is a Mexican visual artist, scenographer and researcher. In her native country, she started her studies in visual arts specialising in sculpture. With an ongoing interest in all performative arts, she continued her studies in the Kunsthochschule in Berlin Weissensee as a stage and costume designer.

Since 2012, she has participated in several forms of experimental, documentary and music theatre productions in Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Prague, Norway, Nigeria, UK and Mexico.

Her artistic research focuses on the subjects of space perception and production, sound as a creator of space and the performativity within the everyday; making use of immersive, installative and participatory formats to explore the audience’s experience. The latest projects refer to a focus on communication systems as performative situations, as well as integrating the concepts of navigation and situational awareness as production techniques.

In 2019 she moved to London to study at the Center for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths University.
Looking into the potential fictions constructed by images and data in order to understand environments and systems that are beyond the human scale, specifically focused in her MA with non-human environments, her interests span from social constructions to the performance of identity.
