METTE STERRE Costume Artist
MA Performance Design and Practice - Central Saint Martins
Mette Sterre is a London-based visual artist mainly focussing on sculptural costume based performances and lens based media. Her work deals with the grotesque: the world of topsy-turvy, the uncanny and the paradox. Inspired by the repetitive patterns in nature, sociology and cultural history in the field of horror movies, she's currently focusing on the grotesque body.By the de-identification of the human body, she questions the stigmatisation of difference, questioning the social construction of identity by blurring the boundaries between the inanimate and the animate, gender and object and subject. She does this by creating sculptural costumes, giving birth to new forms of living beings.The costumes of these anti-characters are made out of unusual materials like ceramics, rubber bands or animal prosthetics. She works on the border of theatre and live art, bringing the sculptures to life in a performance where mise-en-scene plays an important role to support their context and loose narratives..
MARCO TURCICH Lighting Designer
MA Performance Design and Practice - Central Saint Martins
Curiosity for visual engagement is the driving force in my work.
I would define myself as a cross-over artist: working over different means of expression in sight of finding the most appropriate one according to needs and inclination.By combining the theatricality and theatrical devising inspired by Tadeusz Kantor with the more contemporary visual narrative of Robert Lepage and Romeo Castellucci, the aesthetic of my work results as an eclectic combination of visual materials contributing to delineate a narrative within the piece.My practice stretches from site specific performances to gallery installation, working across different medias in sight of exploring new ways of communication and artistic expression. Water flooded areas, lighting, feeling of textures and materials; sculptural installations are just some of the many ways through which my work develops.
