Miguel Miceli

Film

Hulum (the nightmare, what is hidden) explores the “Kitchen Garden of Europe", which oscillates between the dream and the reality of its workers.

In these seasonless greenhouses, men tire themselves out as they tend plants that grow bigger than they are and suck in their dreams.

A wander through the limbo of naturalization in search of an awakening in order to leave dormancy behind.

Miguel Miceli

Born in Brussels in 1992, Miguel Miceli is an Italian-Spanish interdisciplinary artist. He is a graduate of the erg in Brussels and the Slade School of Fine Arts in London. He is currently a student at Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains. His practice revolves around the transformation of the landscape, at the crossroads of the technological sublime, the occult and ecology. Weaving together ancestral traditions and modernity, he displaces the anthropocentric gaze through speculative narratives and evolving installations. He often works on the edges of territories, in search of elements that carry personal and collective memories which question the dichotomies of nature and culture, subject and object, dream and reality. His work has been exhibited in a number of art centres, including La Passerelle in Brest, Les Sheds in Pantin, the Goethe Institut in Paris, Le Safran – Scène Conventionnée in Amiens, as well as a number of emerging venues in Europe. He has taken part in residencies in Singapore, Belgium, Portugal, Paris and Corsica.
