Monika is an interdisciplinary artist who works with any sort of media and takes on many roles; storyteller, researcher, explorer of archetypes, the art of camouflage and new technologies.  She frequently deals with untranslatable experiences, the “here” and the “now”, collaboration with artists from different artistic and geographic areas, the appreciation and understanding of space – the search for the primal source constantly found only to be deserted again.

She is part of a performance duo called Directrix.

“I experience life, therefore I perform – or rather I perform as I live, love, travel and suffer, everything woven together.”
