Artist Intro 創作者簡介

*ENGLISH BELOW* 

梅心怡 

生於台灣，漫步世界，到處揀遺失的鞋子和對話，發現他人，交換故事。
有時候大哭，有時候大笑出聲，偶爾跳一下舞，唱一下歌，寫一點東西，常常想到睡著，醒來繼續想。

美國伊利諾伊大學香檳分校跨界藝術和藝術史雙學位，芬蘭赫爾辛基身體劇場舞蹈表演高等文憑。曾榮選法國巴黎Cite'駐村藝術家、阿姆斯特丹OVT301簡舞蹈計劃駐村藝術家。2005-2012旅居歐洲創作，自2012年從維也納移居台北繼續在國際各地從事跨越劇場舞蹈美術邊界的創作展演計劃。曾為舊金山國際舞踏節、舊金山人類縫紉機表演團、克里斯蒂娜李德舞踏團（玉根劇場）和馬什劇院國際表演錄像藝術節編導/表演者。

其他多元作品包括裝置和影像: 例如奧地利的 SOHO In OTTAKRING節，Schmiede媒體藝術節，MQ 博物館國際區QUARTIER 21 FREIER RAUM，台灣藝境畫廊等。
國內活動包括：蛻變(2224藝術空間)、2011/2012洄瀾國際藝術家創作營、2013身噪體節、2013 東華大學藝術學院藝托邦開幕式。

雖然多元性，Delphine的工作焦點圍繞著幾個主題: 女性/性別，旅行/移民/文化轉型和轉移身份認同的議題，建立有意義的社群連接，透過藝術及知識啟發青年生活熱情和夢想動力,充實和支持次文化生存和發展， 創造更多和平有意識的國際對話交流。

“subversion, staging, performance, and camouflage the fakes. The personages move as "semiotic snipers" in the jungle of signs. Their conviction that the best Subversion is to "distort codes, instead of destroying them"  

 - Roland Barthes -

“顛覆，發起，表演, 和掩飾假象。人物角色的行動變化就像在充滿生活記號叢林中的“符號學神射手”一般。這些人深信, 最好的顛覆就是“再次篡改這種已經固定存在的符號代碼,而不是摧毀假象”
