Birgitta Hosea: Holes

The current access regulations apply.

The ASIFAKEIL transforms into a giant peep show featuring abstract animations that hint at a visceral journey through the female body. The film was created with oil pastels, white spirit, milk, ink, dishwashing liquid, lipstick and pomegranates using hand drawings, fingers, After Effects and a microscopic camera during containment.

Birgitta Hosea is a time-based media artist working with experimental drawing, performance and expanded animation to create durational images, live events, experiential installations and short films that expand the concept of the moving image out of the screen and into the present moment. Recent exhibitions include National Gallery X; Venice & Karachi Biennales; Oaxaca & Chengdu Museums of Contemporary Art; Centre for Recent Drawing, London and Hanmi Gallery, Seoul. Included in the Tate Britain and Centre d’Arte Contemporain archives, she has received an Adobe Impact Award, a MAMA Award for Holographic Arts and an honorary fellowship of the Royal Society of the Arts. Currently Professor of Moving Image at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, she was previously Head of Animation at the Royal College of Art and prior to that at Central Saint Martins, where she completed a practice-based PhD in animation as a form of performance. She has written a number of publications on performance drawing and experimental animation.
