Matreyek creates live, staged performances where she interacts with her animations as a shadow silhouette, at the cross-section of cinematic and theatrical, fantastical and tangible, illusionistic and physical. Infinitely Yours explores global warming, the anthropocene, and the vastly changing earth. This piece attempts to physicalize and emotionalize the nonstop barrage of news streaming in through our screens, of environmental transformation that we can’t seem to hit pause or rewind on. This World Made Itself is a visually rich journey through the history of the earth, from the universe’s epic beginnings to the complex world of humanity. The piece is at once scientific, emotional, surreal, and dreamlike.
…If this were a museum of contemporary art, Matreyek would merit a permanent wing
an emotionally effective representation of the ways creator, destroyer, and destroyed are bound together in a complex co-dependent system
