Liz Dom (b. 1990) is a transmedia artist from Johannesburg, South Africa and MFA graduate from the Art Academy in Trondheim (NTNU) (2022). She is not insistent about a specific practice or medium and prefers an emergent, experimental approach, letting concepts guide visual research and arising narratives where expression and materials respond to theories, often socio-political in nature.
Her artistry investigates and exposes that beneath our daily, seemingly mundane and harmless choices, lie deep ideological motivation for our actions - we are all complicit in the world we create around us, and her work aims to create a stronger awareness of this.
Her artworks have a "learn-by-doing" approach, where the involvement of the viewer as a participant is intended to expose their thoughts and actions as individuals and investigate not only what motivates certain ideologies, but where exactly, in time and space it occurs.
