Selected Artist
CRISTINA REID
Cristina Reid’s multidisciplinary research-based practice deals with the collection, manipulation, fragmentation and distortion of media, images and information. Primarily working with video, installation and collage, She explores how media is disseminated and experienced though time. She is interested in the semiotics and power structures that influence how images function and the narratives and interconnections that occur when disparate images are brought into proximity. Her art history and archival background influences her practice as she often work from an archive of found and personal images to explore how decontextualising them highlights the weight and absurdity of how images and information infiltrate the collective consciousness.
