Melissa Schriek is a Dutch photographer who uses notions of performance and bodily movement to research how we relate to each other and to our daily environment. With her project ‘The City is a Choreography’ she explored how the human body can connect to the city environment, both physically and emotionally.
In addition to these activities, Melissa explores the dynamics of female friendship and sisterhood through a project called “Ode,” in which she casts twenty-five pairs of female friends to capture their unique relationships.
