Miwa Matreyek


Animator/performance artist Miwa Matryek incorporates the silhouette of her own body into projections of her lush animations. Having seen her perform at last year’s Vimeo Festival, I can attest to the power of combining a live theatrical performance with clever front and rear-projection. There’s a bit of magic as you see the “cuts” happen in real life – one moment a hand looms large in frame, her silhouette thrown huge across the screen, the next moment an entire body wanders into frame.

Matryek has two upcoming performances:

See her previous work, Myth and Infrastructure, below. My favorite “movement” starts at 2:53 – when the living silhouette serenely becomes part of the environment, rather than just creating one-to-one interactions.
