The Movie Palace, 2026
Film plays an important role in Chetwynd’s practice. She doesn’t only make autonomous films, but also records rehearsals during the making process of her performances. Film is also a major source of inspiration for her work, ranging from science fiction to horror. This fascination partly comes from her mother, a well-known set designer. For this exhibition, Chetwynd created a new film capturing her performances in the sculpture park. In this way, you can experience the live aspect of her work even outside the moment of performance — and continue to feel its energy. The film is shown through a handmade viewing box, a kind of miniature theatre. This reduced view is a playful nod to theatre practice, where set designers often work with scale models to gain an overview of a stage scene. Also step inside the library. For this summer exhibition, Monster Chetwynd delved into the collection of the Middelheim Museum and made a unique selection.
