Performance by Mathilde Melek An

Mathilde Melek An is a contemporary artist who questions cultural, sexual and territorial identity, memory, both collective and individual, and our relationship to legacy and its transmission through generations.

Delving into her own personal narrative and multicultural references, Mathilde Melek An tries to abolish the rigid borders of the established mediums by mixing together photography, photographic archives, video, sculpture, books, prints, installation and performance. In her work, the image links all these mediums, new modes of expression are explored and experimentation with new mediums makes a lasting image that is yet a perpetual echo of the past.

In a quest of origins, the image uncoils the thread of recounted stories and reveals the portrait of multicultural identities, our worldwide legacy.
