- Aliza Shvarts (born 1986) is an artist and writer who works in performance, video, and installation. Her art and writing explore queer and feminist understandings of reproduction and duration, and use these themes to affirm abjection, failure, and "decreation". Simone Weil's idea of decreation has been described as "a mystical passage from the created to the uncreated" and "a spiritual exercise of mystical passage: across a threshold, from created to uncreated". Shvarts' 2008 performance Untitled [Senior Thesis], 2008 generated an international debate. The work explores ideas of fiction and doubt, and engages feminist inquiries into the medical, political, and legal frameworks of gender and reproduction. Her subsequent works Non-consensual Collaborations (2012–ongoing) and How does it feel to be a fiction (2017) have expanded on such themes as consent, narrative, and doubt. Shvarts holds a BA from Yale University, and a PhD in Performance Studies from New York University. (en)
