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.

For this summer exhibition, Monster Chetwynd delved into the collection of the Middelheim Museum and made a unique selection.
