Peter Missotten is a versatile artist. He is an acclaimed<br />

scenographer and the producer of theatre plays and<br />

performances, working with video, motion picture<br />

and interactive media. In 1994, Missotten co-founded<br />

De Filmfabriek, taking up artistic leadership of this<br />

artists collective involved with the realisation of<br />

digital media art projects. Missotten produced two<br />

video installations in collaboration with An-Marie<br />

Lambrechts and Anne Quirynen. Together they also produced a digital motion<br />

picture in 1997, The Way of the Weed, in collaboration with the Frankfurt Ballet<br />

and William Forsythe. Since 1982, Missotten has been involved in a number of<br />

performances directed by Guy Cassiers, making designs for a.o. Grondbeginselen<br />

(1990), de Wespenfabriek (2000), ‘Onegin’ (2007). The performance Bezonken<br />

Rood’(2004) for which he designed the video decor, was selected for the Festival<br />

d’Avignon in 2006. Together with Kurt d’Haeseleer, Missotten designed the video<br />

decor for two operas by Georges Aperghis: Paysage sous Surveillance (2003) and<br />

Avis de Tempète (2004). After this, several commissions for the design of opera<br />

decors under the direction of Guy Cassiers followed: Rage D’amour (2005) and De<br />

Vliegende Hollander (2005). More recently Missotten has been making a number of<br />

cross-over performances. The Waste Land (2007) for Toneelhuis has been selected<br />

for the Holland Festival 2008. Alongside working as a director at Toneelhuis<br />
