Louise Tahiraj is a video artist whose practice negotiates the tension between day-to-day experience and its mediation. Through a combination of digital and hand-made processes she investigates the crossovers between construction and illusion within screen-based media.Her solo performances in front of a web-cam are isolating yet sincere in her gesture to communicate and create personal spaces within moving image. The exhibition …Traces will explore her desire to connect with her environment through the lens of her iPhone.
Tahiraj has completed a bachelor of Fine Arts Visual Arts with honours from the Queensland University of Technology and is a co-director of the artist run initiative Accidentally Annie Street Space. She was shortlisted in the 2011 National Churchie Emerging Art Award and was awarded The Melville Haysom Memorial Art Scholarship in 2010.
Exhibition dates: Wednesday 21 September to Saturday 8 October
