Profile picture of Yasmine Aminanda

Yasmine Aminanda works with performance, time-based media, and moving-image to explore how everyday moments shape our sense of time and self. They use journals, voice notes, and inner monologues as forms of ‘everyday performances’, where process is as important as the outcome.

Their practice is built around monthly performance blocks. These blocks bring together performance, documentation, and collaboration, often inviting others into the work through conversation and play.

For Yasmine, these shared, open moments are where the real work happens.

They love highlighting the quiet parts. The pauses, the small gestures, the things that are easy to miss, they believe these small practices / micro performances are what build the bigger picture. 

They also work with a lot of yellow. But don’t ask them their favourite colour.

Yasmine Aminanda’s practice unfolds through monthly performance blocks, small, experimental cycles of work that combine performance, documentation, and collaboration. These blocks serve as snapshots in time, capturing evolving questions around presence, play and anything in-between.

This project brings together three such monthly works, each anchored in a specific moment yet connected through recurring themes.

In JANUARY 2025, Yasmine and Anais Aminanda reenact a dialogue as a form of thinking-through-doing. Rather than replicating the original, the piece uses performance to explore voice, collaboration, and embodiment. Inviting reflection through shared action.

JUNE 2024: it’s whatever revisits the site of Acrylicize, where familiar spaces and people meet the inevitability of change. 

In OCTOBER 2023: I tried drawing a map of this place but I drew a map of my brain instead, Yasmine’s yellow persona treats a new artist-run residency space like a playground, moving with curiosity and uncertainty. An attempt to map the physical site becomes a journey of inner thought, emotion, and the complex experience of belonging.

Together, these monthly blocks reveal how small, intimate performances build a larger narrative, one that traces the quiet moments that shapes the bigger things in life/art.

JANUARY 2025 : Yasmine and Anais as Tania and Richard

This is a still from a 3 minute moving image work. In this work, Yasmine Aminanda and Anais Aminanda reenact a page from Cream Pages, a dilaogue originally by Richard Lazyell and Tania Koswycz. The performance is not intended as a homage but as a way of thinking through doing, using it as a space to explore voices, collaboration and embodiment.

JUNE 2024 : It's Whatever

In this performance, Yasmine Aminanda returns to Acrylicize one year later. The building has changed, and so has the mood. Last time: “be kind, be grateful, go.” Now: “okay, whatever.”

With yellow inflatable humans and familiar faces, the piece reflects on what it means to revisit a place, altered by time, memory, and shifting states of selves.

Yasmine Aminanda returns to their passport country for the first time, settling briefly in a shared, artist-run space during a residency. Treated like a playground, the space becomes a site of exploration

The work begins with an attempt to map the unfamiliar surroundings, to make sense of a place both foreign and familiar. But the map shifts inward. 

What emerges is but a sketch of thought, memory, and emotionan internal landscape shaped by dislocation, curiosity, and the need to belong.

The yellow figure moves through space with joy and uncertainty.
