Marie Munk is an interdisciplinary artist, working with sculpture, installation, video, and performance. She is concerned with how technological innovation, where info-tech, biotech, and the commercial world interfere, both characterize and dominate our environment, our behavior, and our bodies. Munk is driven by creating alternative realities that balance the playful, imaginative, and adorable with the eerie, disgusting, and horrifying. With equal parts of sci-fi and humor, Munk comments on a familiar present and uncertain future. She diagnoses, with an uncanny visual language, our society through our relationship to our body. Using silicone as a metaphor for the bodily, Munk creates bizarre hypothetical scenarios, which questions current tendencies in society. ​
