Mylan Hoezen's work centers around endurance and self-confrontation. He expresses these themes from within and shares them as a solo artist while inviting others to collaborate. The performances allow a high state of consciousness to be reached by the performer. His work comes from a desire for harmony in a world filled with noise. Hoezen's performances always have a polarizing nucleus; they are either highly energized or totally passive.
