P Staff

P Staff is a British artist who lives and works between Los Angeles and London. Their interdisciplinary practice spans film, installation, and poetry and draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including theories of necropolitics, affect theory, transpoetics, modern dance, astrology, and end of life care. Through their work, Staff explores how bodies, particularly those of people who are queer, trans, or disabled, are regulated and disciplined in society.

They have gained significant recognition for their work, including awards and exhibitions in private and public collections around the world. Staff earned their BA in Fine Art and Contemporary Critical Studies from Goldsmiths University of London in 2009 and completed the LUX Associate Artists Programme and studied Contemporary Dance at The Place in London in 2011.
