Michal-Sophia Tobiass is a visual artist and choreographer based in Paris since 2023. Her work is dedicated to exploring mourning through funerary rituals in various civilizations predating writing, with a particular focus on prehistoric art, ancient Egyptian art, and proto-prehistoric periods. She collaborates with specialized researchers to study symbolic sites such as Mont Bégo, the Forest of Fontainebleau, and the caves of Dordogne, shedding light on the connections between these rituals, the stars, and geological landscapes. Her practice creates a dialogue between earth, sky, and the transition from life to death, inviting reflection on humanity’s relationship with the cosmos, while blending ancestral traditions with contemporary expression.
