Partner About:
Experimenting documentary forms from the field to fiction, her work is a reaction to the world that we are facing. Eyes, ears and mind wide open, Mélissa uses the time spent on field as principal raw material; the photography, the video and the writing mainly as tools to record her sight on the situation; and the shaping work at studio to recompose this reality in another language than the hegemonic one.
