Michèle Matyn

The artistic research of Michèle Matyn (b. 1978) is driven by her interest in traditional folk tales, anthropological myths and legends, but also by popular comic books and movies that feature some form of animism. The thoughts that speak from these stories encourage her to both physically and mentally broaden the reach of her studio through traveling. The pictures she makes as a “participatory observer” at certain mythical locations, initiate the creation of performances that colour outside the lines of contemporary humanity and its world-image.
