Biography

Through performance, sculpture and installation, Mette Sterre develops a practice centred on the fabrication of full-body masks and wearable forms. These structures alter movement and perception, generating new bodily languages shaped by restriction and extension. Drawing on grotesque and carnivalesque traditions, she mobilises material transformation to disrupt conceptions of the human body. Her practice combines intuitive improvisation with sustained material research, producing environments in which bodies appear hybrid, unstable, and continuously in formation, testing the limits of embodiment.
