BERNICE PAET
I am a stage manager and interdisciplinary artist who creates installations and performance works that engage with design, particularly collage, light, and video projection.
As a stage manager, I believe in working from kindness and love towards an understanding within the team. I embrace the process of each production I am a part of and enjoy getting to be a support and collaborating with everyone.
My current curiosity is the impact of relationships in all the experiences and forms they may come in. I find excitement in the process of connecting with people and objects on a deeper level and the relationship that is built from them. Therefore, striving to create works that showcase intimacy that is built physically and emotionally. I enjoy making works that encourage the audience to take a closer look and build togetherness through themes surrounding mental health, identity, and relationships.
Being a Filipino woman born from immigrant parents has led me to be silent in many phases of my life. My art is created as a form of expression that offers a space for people who have similar experiences to feel supported to be who they are. My artistic practice emphasizes the importance of being seen, even in the littlest of things.
