 Marie Sester

Marie Sester is a media artist based in New York. Born in France, she began her career as a architect, having earned her master’s degree from the Ecole d’Architecture in Strasbourg in 1980. Her interest, however, shifted from how to build viable structures to how architecture and ideology affect our understanding of the world. She writes:

«My work questions the perspective of the West, and the meta-state of a New World Order. I employ archetypes and referents as starting points. For several years I have been committed to working with already-existing data or phenomena, in order to propose a connection between individuals and wider forces, or larger scales, or longer time-bases. And thus reconsider what a society or a community is engaged in, and therefore the individuals, in their everyday life.»
