Production DESIGN WITH JIL BERTERMANN
various
Merle Vorwald is an independent production designer and artist-researcher based in Brussels and Berlin. As production designer she articulates an aesthetic position between streaming and TV shows, art house movies and video art. Her designs are reflecting on the tension and humour of working in commercial and independent productions.
Her research practice finds its form across exploring writing techniques, spatial installations and online platforms. The visual contexts create absurd beauty realms of glossy, late-capitalist materialities and their imperfections. With them she explores the inherent political of autobiographical matters and investigates the potentials of fragility in collective work structures. Her work is always collaborative and often connected to Belgium.
