MUSE

Documentaire | dv | couleur | 3:5 | Estonie | 2009

She is a sourse of my inspiration. She gives my life a meaning. I am part of her and she is part of me. We can`t live without each other because she gives ideas for my artistic creation.. She is my muse.

Born in 1965 in Viljandi, Estonia. Studied in Estonian Academy of Arts, MA 1995 Lives and works in Tallinn, Estonia. Works with a wide range of media including photography, sculpture, animations, painting and text. Mäetamm tells us the stories which happen behind the closed doors and pulled curtains of the intimate territory we called home. Mäetamm portrays the family as a little society -relaying through a dark humor the petty moments of daily life - and exploring the way our society manipulates the family dynamics through the macrocosms of economy, consumerism, and ?quality-of-life? standards. Inspired by his own private life and the recurrent feeling he could fail to preserve the balance in his existence, Mäetamm?s work explores the grey area where ambiguous feelings of being in control and being controlled merge. Marko Mäetamm has exhibited internationally and represented Estonia at the 52nd Venice Biennial in 2007. Contact: maetamm@yahoo.com HOMEPAGE: www.maetamm.net
