Melanie Menard

My main interests are subjectivity and inner conflict, alienation and delusions. I investigate through photography and video how an individual's mental state influences their perception of their experiences and surroundings, and the representation of space as psychologically and historically charged. My photographs are unstaged and taken with long exposure in natural light. My videos are precisely composed and edited in order to achieve a coherent cinematic mood that traps the viewer inside a particular subjective experience. I hold a MA Digital Arts with Distinction from Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, and have exhibited in the UK, Brazil, Spain and Australia.
