Louise Manifold works conceptually with film, photography, sculpture and text.​
Fascinated by the power of stories and the creation of myth, Louise Manifold explores narratives and situations that challenge our habits and perceptions while creating new worlds.
Like landing in the middle of the dream, her practice engages with re-enactment and play to devise staged scenarios that feel vaguely familiar yet made strange through visual and sonic phenomena, presented as fragments of a larger story that is never fully disclosed.
Originating from personal responses to the overlooked and unbelievable, including delusion, perceptual phenomena, and incidents of emotional collapse, Manifold pushes the limits of self-awareness, inviting viewers to enter new terrains of understanding.
Lens-based media enables her to explore human disconnection from the lived world in favour of an other realm.
Manifold engages with outdated or obsolete technologies to access our shared memories and emotions as reclaims their unrealized potential, and challenging prevailing notions about how we construct our perceived reality.
