Melanie is kunstenaar en woont afwisselend in New York en Amsterdam. "My work touches upon the paradoxes inherent in our future-based ideas of comfort. Through my videos, performances, photographs and installations I examine subjects related to progress that remove from the individual a sense of belonging and looks at how technological advances and commodity-based pleasures increase feelings of alienation within the individual. Captivated by concepts of the divine, I explore the spiritual emptiness of my generation, examines peoples’ shifting relationship with nature and try to understand existential questions by looking at our domestic situation, idea’s around classification, concepts of home, gender and attitudes towards value."
