Lives and works in Punta Arenas (Chile). Perich is performance artist and photographer from the southernmost part of the world: Patagonia. She relates the body to hostile surroundings, deconstructing body and nature to find a possible hybridization of them, in a place that is so far off and not only geographically disconnected. Perich Rosas researches relations between presence and place through three main pillars: her personal artistic investigation, regional education and international exchange through artist-in-residences, which she hosts with CONFL!CTA Contemporary Art and Science Research in Punta Arenas, Chile.

At the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK 2012, Perich presents the exhibition CONFL!CTA - Actions in Patagonia, the live performance Tajo and the presentation CONFL!CTA - Performance Practices at the End of the World.
