ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a video artist and vocalist for the electronic duo VIEUX. In my last year of studying photography, I developed a strong interest in video and performance, which I have explored ever since. I am drawn to using outdated image-making technology to inspect my perception of the past and childhood memories. I am fascinated by the physical aspect of analogue video media and the visual distortions that it creates.

In my most recent work, I have used personal archives from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Over lockdown, I expanded my practice with analogue video technology. Currently, I’m working on VIEUX to perform distorted and abstract live video art paired with techno / industrial music.
