Artist-architect moving between Berlin and Marseille, Mathilde is a scenographer of public space. After studying architecture in Paris and Rio de Janeiro, she moved to Berlin where she worked in major architectural firms. Her desire to inscribe her work in a political approach to the current dynamics of life leads her to leave the conventional structures of architecture to explore less visited paths.
Her approach to projects, resolutely anchored in the places welcoming her, is transdisciplinary. Contemplative of the society in which we evolve, M positions herself as a tool, a lever for human and non-human emergences on the scale of neighborhoods, urban wastelands or pebbles.
Mathilde was attracted early on by the research process and the consideration of architecture as an investigation in motion. M considers social dynamics and the livings as constitutive and essential elements of architecture. In opposition to the immuability advocated by the contemporary conception of architecture, her practice is fluid; research and field investigation, construction of installations in public space, performances,...
Her practice involves performing in situ, staging in public spaces, workshops open to the public, scenography and numerous hybrid forms. In 2018, she co-founded the collectif Trouble in Berlin, with which she explores the same questions through the prism of theatre. In 2021, B.U.I.L.D*lab is being created, a FLINTA construction collective seeking to overturn the mechanisms of domination through imaginative constructions.
Mathilde teaches from time to time at the architecture school of Marseille. She was awarded research-creation residencies at Iméra x Citadelle de Marseille in 2025 and at Cove Park in Magnetic Fluxus program in 2026.
