Welcome to Mette Sterre's website - a visual performance artist


I create costumes, installations, drawings and mostly performances. My work is socially engaged; picturing the society we try to live in from an ironic perspective.
Connecting to the experience of culture today, I involve the viewer in situations or environments which suggest the possibility of an action. These installations are brought to life through performance.
I offer alternatives to existing situations, constructively criticising.
Yet, it's about small things, sentimental and inter-human aspects each offering some resistance to MTV and Hollywood utopia's.
Being part of and guilty of the system it's also self critique.
Paradox and play.
