Melanie Manchot
London-based artist Melanie Manchot employs photography, film, video and sound to form a sustained enquiry into how we form ideas about our individual and collective identities. Performance-to-camera, reconstruction and participation as well as location-based research are recurring methodologies. Manchot is currently in production for her first feature film, commissioned by Liverpool Biennial. The film deals with addiction and recovery and extends theme originally researched in her installation Twelve.
