Mette Sterre is a London/Rotterdam-based visual artist mainly focussing on  sculptural costume based performances and lens based media. 
Her work deals with the grotesque: the world of topsy-turvy, the uncanny and the paradox. Inspired by the repetitive patterns in nature, sociology and cultural history in the field of horror movies, she’s currently focussing on the grotesque body.
By the de-identification of  the human body, she addresses the stigmatisation of difference, questioning the social construction of identity by blurring the boundaries between the inanimate and the animate, gender and object and subject.

She does this by creating sculptural costumes,  giving birth to new forms of living beings.
The costumes of these anti-characters are made out of unusual materials like ceramics, rubber bands or animal prosthetics. She works on the border of theatre and live art, bringing the sculptures to life in a performance where mise-en-scene  plays an important role to support their context and loose narratives.

She is a recent MA Graduate from London Central Saint Martins and her work has featured in the Catlin Guide, a prestigious publication of UK’s best graduating graduate and postgraduate art students. She was also selected to represent the University of the Arts London at the Art15 (the London Art Fair). Her work has featured in Vogue, Dazed and Confused, Wallpaper magazine and the Volkskrant Magazine, amongst others. Mette Sterre works internationally and has exhibited and performed in the Watermill Center in New York, the Platform Theatre in London, the Trienale museum in Milan, Scope Art Fair in Basel, and Art Rotterdam, amongst other places.
