Biography
Drawing from her own experiences and those of her close circle, Mégane Brauer's work maintains a close connection to the social violence of a world fractured by capitalism. Precarity and poetry, survival and radiance, essentials and necessity... Her work is imbued with disarming sincerity. It begins with texts she writes, capturing the realities of class domination and the daily strategies of the poor—navigating discount stores, administrative forms, underpaid work, and losing lottery tickets.
Snapshots of forbidden lives, her works simmer with energy and unflinchingly celebrate the beauty of fake glitter, the dreams of telenovelas, and creative crafts as flashy as diamond painting. Mégane Brauer manipulates the materials around her, resulting in a profoundly situated and political body of work that powerfully reflects the instability of an absurd present.
