Through the use of 3D animation, Laura O’Neill has manipulated footage of an accident recorded with her phone, creating a virtual figure trapped within the very boundaries of the screen.
Laura O’Neill (1990, Great Britain/Netherlands) works simultaneously with a wide variety of media—video, sculpture, sound, and text—using each to represent the dynamic tension of intrinsic factors within states of material transformation. This energy is modulated and amplified through sound, images, and the inclusion of found and/or created objects.
Her works are characterized by a fascination with the fragility of experience and the body. O’Neill has exhibited at: Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge (2016); Composite, Brussels (2016); ICA Film Biennale (2016); Focal Point Gallery’s Big Screen, Southend-on-Sea (2016); Bikini Wax, Mexico City (2015); ICA, Lora (2015); Camden Art Centre, London (2015); Baltic 39, Newcastle (2014); Liverpool Biennale (2014); Spike Island, Bristol (2013).
In 2015, she was commissioned to create a work for Mexico City Metro. She is currently undertaking a residency at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam.
