Dana Michel
Uncanny Valley Stuff
Her works are «soaked with a kind of art brut sensitivity», says the critically-acclaimed Canadian performance artist and former top athlete Dana Michel. In her solo «Uncanny Valley Stuff» the Canadian-born performer with African roots investigates how her bi-national identity forms her thinking, feeling and attitudes. Her work in progress revolves around her harmless fear of monkeys as well as around Freud’s theory of the uncanny — which says that the things we find uncanny appear that way because they are familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
