Simona Sharafudinov on Natalia Sahlit

Historically an artist’s journal has been seen as a mythical world, which remains hidden until an artist’s passing, where the birth of ideas take their shape. Upon my first encounter with Natalia Sahlit’s work I felt I was being invited into this secret world of an artist. I instantly felt drawn in by the cornered […]

Responding to the desiring machines brief I tried to reverse the process of digital photography creating something tangible with histogram pictures carved in soaps. My research on this topic began when I realized that the numerical sculpture of a photo (histogram) interests me as much as the final image, and to unravel and cross […]

My intention was to get close to the object/s of my desire through materials and create an imprint of a memory – the work had to be big, ugly and vulnerable, which invited touch. I used a specific event, a photographic memory, to delve deeper into the process of making the work. I installed it […]

CAROLINA MITSUKA ON CAROLINA MITSUKA

The excitement of my first install in a new context of a CSM MA PHOTOGRAPHY install got me thinking on what it means to take my practice and involve it in a new environment, to make it relevant to this particular event. For that, I wanted to explore a new piece of work I have […]

Exploring our perception of time and motion, I utilized video files of “events” and employed different techniques to reveal motion in a way we are not used to seeing. For one piece I took multiple frames from a video of a woman pushing a shopping cart and merged them into a single image. I then […]

For this install, I worked with the concept of the artist’s book, and my challenge was how to make a book the main piece in an exhibition. I installed my personal work-in-progress diary, composed of texts and photos. A notebook is quite an ordinary object and I did not want it to be lost in […]

remember nature – Yaoyao Ding

I did this work as part of an exhibition titled Remember Nature. I was interested in this topic because we are a part of nature and we also change nature sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a bad way. I chose toilet paper because I use it everyday but I rarely think about […]

Desiring Phones- Ebony Francis

I decided to approach this install with something more personal to me instead of something that merely represented my standpoint or view of the world. As a woman, a “black” person, an African, Caribbean, slave descendent, hybrid of multi national identity in times of post colonialisms albeit still evident White supremacy- isms! I had a […]

Siobhan Bradshaw on Siobhan Bradshaw

For the install I brought a drawing, screen print, digital print and Gouache painted postcards all created from my photographs of mannequins. Often I do not disclose she is not real and its naturally assumed a woman. My project is Desiring Machine and my practice is focused on female desire. Photography is always part auto-biographical and […]

“The Event” The event talks about the creative process that all artist have to pass during the construction of their Works. Most of the time when we start to work in some specific project we have our main idea and some relevant points to develop this new art work. But throughout the research it may change, […]
