Myriam Van Imschoot

Biography

Myriam Van Imschoot lives and works in Brussels. Her work spans performances, sound poetry, vocal pieces, videos, and sound installations. The artist’s fascination with communicative forms that enable people to communicate over large distances, culminated in a cycle of works dedicated to yodeling, shouting, waving, and birdsong. “Hola Hu” (2013) and “Kucku” (2014) are yodeling duets. Her production of “What Nature Says,” which earned Van Imschoot international recognition, brings her to HAU Hebbel am Ufer for the first time. In her current work, she integrates the voices of collectives, sub cultures, and different communities into her work. Through these collaborative efforts, she created works like “In Koor” (with Willem de Wolf, 2017), “Chorus in CC” (2017), “HElfel” (2016), and “YouYouYou” (2014-2017). Her pieces have been performed internationally, in galleries and at theatres including Kiasma (Helsinki), Actoral (Marseille), Kaaitheater (Brussels), Campo (Gent), Operadagen (Rotterdam), and Operadagen (Rotterdam).
