hell is other people is an immersive installation and soundscape withdrawn from a 2012 video performance. The exhibited objects are video ephemera, essentially props used to contextualize and create an environment for the recorded performance, which likens human bodies as tools for labor and instruments for exchange.
Drawing heavily on both research and experimentation, much of my work is situated in both general and specific notions of space, architecture, created environments and the human body. Priority is given to the the shaping of experiences rather than the crafting of objects. My work primarily takes form as video, installation, performance / video-performance, and extends to drawing, writing, sound and fibres-based works. |
