general artistic approach
“What is constitutive of a person’s identity? Is it based on one’s imagination?” These are the questions which Miyoko Caubet asks in the body of her work. She is continually searching for ways to express and explore every side of the privacy of the mind. Schooled in video editing and mixed media art, she uses the audiovisual language to serve this intention. For instance, her main focus is on the attempt to create subjective point of views. She also includes other mediums such as photography, drawing and writing when they can bring additional dimensions to the purpose of her ideas. Her works are situated between fine arts and cinema.
