Combining moving image, writing, installation and performance Felix Melia’s work addresses notions of public and private space, intimacy and agency. It is an exploration of the ways we perceive, move through and dwell in our environments. Melia is particularly interested in the physical gestures and expressions we make in order to become visible and develop selfhood within regulated, exclusionary spaces. His work draws in tandem on the codes of storytelling as a way of unpacking and interpreting the languages we use to express ourselves and relate to one another.
