Nicky Miller is a genderqueer artist born near Paris, France, with Vietnamese origins, currently based in Berlin. Their life and artistic practice have been shaped by long-term experiences in multiple international cities, including Paris, New York City, Brussels, and Berlin. These geographical and cultural displacements strongly inform their work, which explores identity, desire, embodiment, and queer visibility.

Working across film, performance art, and writing, Nicky is a self-educated artist whose practice developed outside traditional academic frameworks.

They write and direct their own films as an independent producer and perform vocals and texts within techno and electronic music contexts. Their work moves fluidly between visual art, underground cinema, and club culture, positioning the body as both a political and poetic site.

In 2009, Nicky completed a post-master's level program in Performing Arts through an alternative self-education structure (APT) in Belgium.

Between 2008 and 2013, they participated in several international artist residencies, including Fundação de Serralves in Porto with Mugatxoan and La Casa Encendida in Madrid. In 2013, they were granted a residency by the National University of Bogotá, Colombia, where they joined the performing arts program as a resident artist.

Following years of international mobility, Nicky began writing and directing queer films around 2010, using cinema as a space to affirm their queer identity and to actively support LGBTQ+ communities.

Their short films "Lemon Taste" and "Fisherman" have since been awarded and presented at numerous international queer film festivals, including Fringe! Queer London Film Festival, Oslo Fusion Film Festival, BFI Flare, Chéries Chéris Paris, ASVOFF, and The Queer Archive.

​

Since settling in Berlin, Nicky has developed close collaborations with local and international queer art collectives such as Trashera, Pornceptual, and Queerdos Ensemble. As a visual artist, they have exhibited in collective shows including The Violators and Soup, curated by Gio Black Peter in New York City, as well as with Instinct Berlin gallery in exhibitions such as Beautiful Queerdos and Unity.

From 2017 onwards, Miller expanded their artistic practice into music performance, collaborating as a vocalist and lyricist within the techno scene.

They have worked with artists including Electrosexual, Deepneue, Lan Hung, Rob Talin, Morior XS, and James Demon, using spoken and sung texts to extend their cinematic and performative concerns into sound, rhythm, and club spaces.

Nicky’s commitment to working within queer and sex-positive scenes is central to their artistic practice. Acting, performing, and creating within these communities has become a vital way for them to express gender fluidity, desire, and autonomy, while contributing to collective spaces of resistance, visibility, and shared imagination.
