BIO - Mikhael Antone-D’Angelo
Mikhael Antone is a multidisciplinary visual artist and filmmaker based in New York City. Her
work examines the emotional and social landscapes of contemporary life, focusing on themes of
identity, perception, and the interplay between constructed environments and natural spaces.
Drawing from her experiences growing up in a middle-class American suburb, Mikhael explores
how social constructs, consumer culture, and subconscious drives shape our sense of self and
place.
Her projects include Placelessness, which documents the “non-places” of hypermodernity like malls
and suburban sprawl, exposing their disconnection and emotional voids. In Sense of Place, she
investigates how constructed worlds influence identity and memory. Her recent work, As If
Nothing Ever Happened, reflects on the transformation of Staten Island’s Freshkills Park from a
landfill to a reclaimed landscape, exploring themes of environmental trauma, healing, and
collective responsibility.
Mikhael’s work has been exhibited nationally at venues such as Anthology Film Archives, BAM
Rose Cinemas, and the Lumen International Video Art Festival. She is also the co-author of The
Visual Arts Workbook (Cognella, 2024), a resource bridging theory and practice for artists.
Her art seeks to provoke dialogue about the spaces we inhabit—physical, emotional, and
environmental—and the shared anxieties and traumas they reflect. For more about her projects,
