Matilda is a woman, at least usually she looks like one. She is not an artist, but she finds inspiration in ordinary things, like bananas and monkeys, swimming pools and milk, spandex and leotards, disco dancing, her breasts and concepts like woman, mother, family, ambiguity, foolishness and freedom. Matilda loves singing, slamming drums and song writing. She works with images that are based on her daydreaming, but not exclusively. Stage is her home and where she truly comes alive. Image Snatchers is a regularly held, modular, always surprising, and never the same art-social event, constituted collectively by members of the group Feminalz. This burlesque collective is working under patronage of Emanat Institute from 2013 onward. The core is composed of a permanent group of performers while they also frequently invite other outlandish guests to join them. In five years of existence they created over 50 acts, in every show they use successful strategies of appropriation and recycling to deliver a brand-new experience. With series Image Snatchers Present the collective Feminalz embarked on a new way of working, as the members of the group took a closer look into the life of one of the techno-burlesque characters. The first in this new framework was Urška Vohar, appearing as Mathilda Buns in Image Snatchers.
