Mathilde Rosier

 

 

Currently lives and works in Burgundy, France and in Basel. Mathilde Rosier creates art that comments on and illustrates the need to return to harmonious ways of integrating human activity with the ‘natural environment’, including pre-industrial practices that might seem anti-rational, observing the world from the vantage of the present-day countryside. Her works draw on her interest in the physical and psychological experience of ancient rites and rituals.. Her art often embodies fictional offshoots or parts of a narrative, where constellations of self-made costumes, mystic representations of animals and nature often seem like props, an abandoned stage set, or solitary protagonists of an unfamiliar yet compelling reality. Through the combination of painting, film, dance and music, Rosier constructs oneiric situations that allow the beholder to lose any sense of space and time, opening a portal between conscious and unconscious realms.
