Mayar Alexan

Syria

Mayar Alexan is a multidisciplinary performance artist who merges theatrical forms with experimental visual arts. His work focuses on the performing body, using light and scenographic design to approach his artistic inquiries. He seeks to give form and structure to intangible worlds — particularly the spaces that occupy our minds in moments of crisis and the semi-imagined realms that offer refuge from harsh realities.

In recent years, his practice has addressed the duality of the worlds of dreams, the afterlife, utopia and Alzheimer’s, exploring the interplay between the tangible and the imagined and how it shapes our perception of reality.
