Mish Meijers and Tricky Walsh have been collaborating on ‘The Collector Project’ for eight years, presenting different scenarios and a series of works with each project.
The project revolves around a fictional character, Henri Papin, through which the artists explore concepts of memory, narrative, social constructions, psychology and its related manifestations – internal and external architectures and machinery, both imagined and real.
The artists’ collaborative large-scale installations combine technology, machinery and performance. Kinetic and sculptural elements imply a science lab: collecting, recording and experimenting with materials and substances such as crystals, iron shards and magnets, found objects and obscure contraptions.
