Tuna Mess is a Paris based performer and artist from Belgium. She studied fashion at La Cambre in Brussels. After 10 years designing for Balenciaga, Paco Rabanne and Mugler, she decided to focus on performance. 
In the cabaret, Tuna hijacks the codes of drag, challenging beauty and gender standards. Costumes and texts are at the core of her practice. 
Since 2022, Tuna edits accessoiries, sculptures and installations interrogating how objects can become performative.
