At the moment she work on the development of a short experimental movie Autopoiesis and a project that connects three cities Kyiv Poznan and Berlin. Through the synthesis of genres and forms, facts and fantasy fiction Matilda discover connections of science and the subconscious process: “I am interested to work with improvised and choreographed movement, connection and the juxtaposition between body and space, ensemble work, and soundscape construction.” GlogauAIR cooperates with the Goethe Institut and the NGO Artists at Risk to support Ukrainian artists.

GlogauAIR Project

My intention is to create a kind of a new genre in performance arts: an idea I tentatively call “sciencetesy,” which stands for the union of science and fantasy. I have always been hypnotised by the secrets of the human subconscious. The nature of imagination, creation of fairytales, creatures that reflect a wide range of emotions, and projections from real-life. The themes I explore in my work are often connected to the inner world, dreams, alternative reality, and associative images. In the last four years, my attention gravitated towards Natural Sciences, Space exploration, system thinking, and complexity theory. I’m comprehending the nature of interconnections and the structure of the Universe, the shapes, patterns and relationships that form it. Inspired by science, I am looking for ways, in which discoveries and solid scientific facts can influence art, gain a deeper understanding of life, and bring the sensation of cosmic awareness to wider audiences.”
