Her approach to projects, resolutely anchored in the places welcoming her, focuses on socio-political scales. Contemplative of the society in which we evolve, she positions herself as a tool, a lever for social emergence on the scale of neighborhoods or urban wastelands.
She was attracted early on by the research process and the consideration of architecture as an investigation in motion. She considers social dynamics and the livings as constitutive and essential elements of architecture. In opposition to the staticity advocated by the contemporary conception of architec- ture, her practice is fluid; research and field investigation (her master’s project), construction of installations in public space,...
Her practice involves the construction of installations in situ and the coordination of participative work sites. She also organizes workshops articulated around the question of inhabi- ting for humans and non-humans. In 2018, she co-founded the Trouble collective in Berlin, with which she explores the same questions through the prism of theater.
In 2024, Mathilde started teaching fictional theater as a way to read public space at the Architecture School of Marseille (ENSA Marseille).
In 2025, she will be artist in residence at La Citadelle de Marseille & Iméra for her project “Citadelle chimérique, pour un art Sentinelle”
