ABOUT ELIYAH MESAYER (b.1987)
Graduate from the Jutland Art Academy 2020. A focal point for Mesayer’s work is the fictional state ‘Illiyeen’, a state for the stateless, which both engages Mesayer’s heritage, but also seeks a form of alchemical change by artistically balancing itself on the dynamic threshold between reality and fiction as well as fact and imagination. It is the language of alchemy understood in its very broadest sense, including and inviting its audiences to become part of the alchemical reactions themselves.
