ABOUT

photograph by Jonathan De Maeyer
PERSONA is a multidisciplinary art platform that collects and connects the individual and collaborative work of artists Pieter Desmet, Steffi Mennen and Jonathan De Maeyer in which they can explore their main research "the body as the manifestation of identity". PERSONA works on the crossroad between performance art and visual art placing itself somewhere between the theater, the museum and the site specific landscape.
By combining each artist's individual medium bound experiences PERSONA creates a specific imagery which resides simultaneously within the realistic, the cinematic and the deformed world. PERSONA exposes the contemporary individual and their alienation from corporeal reality.
