In her current work she draws and paints images directly on film stock, a technique known as direct animation. Her experimental films explore accidental intersections between image and sound and the anxious pulse of 24 frames per second. Her work has screened at numerous festivals including Annecy, Ottawa and Ann Arbor.

Layton Lachman
Layton Lachman has been making live performance, installation, and film work independently and collaboratively since 2010, and their body of work has grown in close dialogue with both Berlin and American contemporary dance contexts. Their research is often in the realm of somatics and finding methods of utilizing these experiential practices in the creation of immersive worlds of sensorial complexity and perceptual disorientation. Lachman has a long-standing artistic collaboration with Mara Poliak. In 2020 the two artists are developing a new performance that is designed to be presented to individuals or small groups of up to four people, who become co-conspirators and collaborators throughout the course of the performance. As well as making and performing, Lachman has been deeply invested in alternative modes of curation and social organizing via the platforms of SALTA (Oakland) and T.E.N.T. (Berlin).

T.E.N.T. is a mobile structure made to host dreams, desires and basic necessities. T.E.N.T. is a collaborative dance/art phenomena developing exxxessive performative work and incoherent methodologies, a way for the participants to bring their individual art making into a collective frame, a togetherness through multiplicity. Since 2017, T.E.N.T. artists have built an artistic relationship and devised various curatorial platforms for research and performance. In addition to presenting five performative events in Berlin, Dresden, and Stockholm, T.E.N.T. initiated a research studio in 2018.
Laura Lappi
aura Lappi Umbra VIII Wall sculpture, charred oak, walnut and pine, plywood. 2019. 54 x 72 x 3 inch. Umbra focuses on the deepest details found in dark shadows. The wall sculptures are abstracted segments of various architectural structures based on existing locations and places from my memory. Irregular pentagons, triangles, trapezoids and circles intersect in ways that give structural integrity to the sculptures while creating a hypnotic visual rhythm. The charred material itself has agency. The passage of time, loss and remembrance are encompassed within this blackened material that has been transformed through the act of burning.
