ARTISTS
PERSONA is a multidisciplinary art platform uniting the work of artists Pieter Desmet, Steffi Mennen, and Jonathan De Maeyer. It merges performance and visual art at the intersection of theater, museum, and site-specific landscape.
As both a home for individual artistic practices and a space for collaborative creation, PERSONA explores shared authorship and layered storytelling. Blending each artist’s unique medium and perspective, PERSONA generates striking imagery that moves between the real, the cinematic, and the surreal.
Through immersive projects, PERSONA invites audiences into fragmented, poetic worlds that challenge our perception of the body, space, and presence in contemporary life.
