Myth & Infrastructure and Dream of Lucid Living

Dive into the glorious visions of Miwa Matreyek. Using animation, projections and her own moving shadow, Miwa Matreyek performs a gorgeous, meditative piece about inner and outer discovery. Matreyek creates performances where real shapes and virtual images trade places. An internationally recognized multi-media artist based in Los Angeles, Matreyek was featured at TEDGlobal in 2010 and creates animated short films as well as live works that integrate animation, live performance, and video installation.

"She seamlessly combines the would-be-separate mediums of performance art, animation, sculpture and music to create a simultaneously whimsical and intricate experience." - FineArtsLA.com
