Through animated images of vacant spaces Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone questions when architectural features are experienced as seductive and high-end, unsettling or spooky—and how to challenge these visual codes. The video is an uncanny composition of liminal spaces; transporting you from dusty attics to ornate wedding-venues. Sound design by Juho Nurmela
The video installation In this corner full of plenty examines recordings of everyday moments and transforms these into graphic, moving paintings. It visualises exciting hidden patterns by carefully tracing and layering movements in the footage. The video distorts our usual sense of depth and perspective and invites the viewer to become an everyday-vouyeur peaking through small openings
For the bachelor pad is a series of animated sculptures which look at architecture as a structure of control. Midcentury classics are staged to represent a form of masculine desire, as jittering outlines of iconic chairs morph together and become breathing entities
Kinked is a flexible video installation that seeks to “kink”—bend, warp, curve and twist—familiar images of seduction and desire. By grouping and linking multiple video projections together in a single space, the images form a visual vocabulary, moving towards a new sensual semantics. Sister Let Me Up Photography: Marcel Miranda / Sister Let Me Up Audio: Juho Nurmela / Cowgirl Illustration: Beingobscene.
Part of the Eye Museum Experimental Collection
Bimbo-di Bambe-di Boobs is a frivolous investigation into the possibilities of recontextualising a misogynist trope and use the Bimbo as a powertool to denaturalise narratives of desire formed by white patriarchy. Nominated for the Gerrit Rietveld Thesis Prize. Design collab. Nicolai Schmelling
A fierce match of visual jabs and backhanded animations in collaboration with artist Nicolai Schmelling. The site specific installation Backwards And So Forth was created for the wooden insides of Sociëteit SEXYLAND, Amsterdam
Feline Hjermind (DK,1993) is a crafter of moving images, engaged in shaping a unique visual language, an audiovisual handwriting. Maintaining a frivolous yet critical approach to popular image culture, Hjermind develops ways of animating: bringing life and character to static images and rigid concepts.
Based in Amsterdam, NL
