Binhas artistic work focuses on video art, film and interdisciplinary work in between video and music performance. They often deal with queerfeminist topics and questions related to social roles and their dynamics. In many cases their works are situated within a stage setting, engaging in a dialogue with its architecture, in this way linking traditional cultural-political practices with questions of persona, fiction and gender roles. As an educated musician sound and music compositions play an important role in their work as a means of expression and in a socio-political context - whether in relation to musical compositions, musical genres and their inscribed cultural-political narratives, or the human voice and its political symbolism.
Binhas work have been shown at the Museum of Art Lucerne, at Melina Mercouri Cultural Centre Athens, at Sonic Matters Zurich, at Opera Halle, at the European Media Art Festival Osnabrück and at Vienna Shorts among others and have been awarded the soundzz.z.zzz...z Prize 2016 (Museum of Art Lucerne) a.o.. They have received scholarships from the Akademie der Künste Berlin and Kunstfonds Bonn a.o.. Binha studied music at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and Timebased Arts at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle. They participated at Professional Media Masterclass Werkleitz 2022 and at Oberhausen Seminar 2023. Next to their artistic work Binha plays as a freelance violinist in the field of classical and contemporary music for various ensembles and orchestras in Germany and is a member of the "Contemporary Insights Ensemble" for contemporary music in Leipzig.
