Marie Matusz
*1994, lives and works in Basel and Berlin
Marie Matusz's practice is the result of a critical engagement with forms and their inherent meanings. It evolves through in-depth research into a variety of philosophical, sociological, and linguistic theories. Her work manifests these concepts through minimal sculptural installations, sound works, writings, and films.
