Nathalie Mei is an artist born in Eivissa, Balearic Islands, and works between Europe, the UK, and Japan with sculpting, sound-making, writing, processing image data, and performance. Through her works, she seeks an alliance between biographical traces, the natural, and the algorithmic world.
Her works function as a lens to examine human perception, memory, and outer-human-image-related worlds.
Nathalie’s works are rooted in a multilayered and multidirectional understanding of time. They are informed by anthropology, philosophy, literature, pop culture, and art history. With various media, the artist traces lines between sensual spaces, physical spaces, social spaces, and time-space(s).
Departing from a neurodiverse perspective, her series of works form inclusive environments, which often interrelate. Through techniques of doubling, merging, and rearranging organic and inorganic materials, she explores the partitioning between emotional and intellectual processes in human understanding of complex realities.
Nathalie expands classical notions of conceptual art and the objet trouvé by introducing the relationship between emotional worlds and (maybe speculative) biographies within the geo-, zoe- and technoscene to questions around identity, copy, and original.
