more information
Cecilia is an interdisciplinary artist focused in the fields of scenography/design, cinema, and performance. She uses her intuition and experience to create work focusing on the transience and fragility of time and location – often working with paper, light, performative time, and natural elements. Cecilia is inspired by the aesthetics and construction of Atmospheres, as well as evidence of the artist being present in her work.
“It is my belief as a researcher that aesthetics, motion, and materials are the key ingredients to composing an atmosphere with a collective emotive state. As a Scenographer, Dancer, and Film Analyst I am hyper-curious about researching and exploring how these ingredients have been and can be used. The research I find a lot of inspiration from film because my awe in it began as a child so I can feel the atmosphere can be felt. Since my undergraduate I have been curious about how to make dance look as it feels. I use that past to question how make an atmosphere I can stand in and share. The theory, the exploration of material and aesthetics is Translating. The process between recognising that tinge of a feeling and constructing it. We can translate a sentence into another language, but how do we translate a mood into a material?”
