“Mélanie Matranga”
Nottingham Contemporary

Lafayette Anticipations has been supporting Melanie Matranga’s artistic work for a long time. The themes explored in her films — togetherness, intimacy, nonverbal communication, and memory — are investigations of humankind’s unreadability. Her work provides relief and resistance in a time when values of immediacy, clarity, hyper-simplification, and quick thinking seem to be ascendant.
