His projects have led Mats Staub to make interviews and recordings all around the world. For his audio installation My Grandparents (2008-2013) he talked to over three hundred people in fourteen cities about what they remember about their grandparents. In the video installation 21 – Memories of Growing Up he portrays members of different generations remembering the time when they were 21 years old. His online collection Ten Important Events In My Life, comprising around 3000 events, was also published as a book (Salis Verlag, 2014) and was continued as a site-specific as well as museum exhibition in Spain and Latin America as Diez moments en mi vida (2017-2019). Staub continuously expands his long-term projects by making new lists, portraits, conversations wherever one of his projects is presented. Thus, every project is a growing archive of conversations and oral history from different countries, in different languages, often spanning several generations.

His projects have been invited to important festivals such as the Wiener Festwochen (2006, 2009, 2015), the Adelaide Festival (2018) and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (2019).

Mats Staub studied theatre, journalism and religious studies in Berne, Fribourg and Berlin. He worked as a dramaturg at Theater Neumarkt in Zurich (2002–2004), before beginning to create his own artistic projects which critics have been situated between theatre and exhibition, research, journalism and literature.
