Marc Weis, Martin De Mattia
M+M stands for the German-Luxembourg artist duo of Marc Weis and Martin De Mattia, who work in the space between visual art, architecture, and film. They also create multimedia and cinematic installations and work as teachers and curators. In their art – both in their own anonymized collaborations and in their collaborations with other artists – they question the myth of the individual genius.
