StevieRay Latham (b. 1992) works across drawing, painting, print, sound, text and video, investigating the ways that cultural narratives & myths shape our understanding of the world around us, surfacing alternative histories and futures in order to re-consider the present.
Thinking of narrative & myth as ‘lenses' that alter our view of the world, Latham combines historical, philosophical, archival, folkloric and literary references, layering, manipulating and distorting them in order to unearth hidden traces running through the substrata of cultural memory.
Whether layering sci-fi movie stills with archival photographs, using A.I. to generate imagined landscapes or stretching Baroque concertos into ambient soundscapes; information, images and sounds are filtered through technology before being re-contextualised within analogue and physical processes, creating environments where notions of reality are re-examined and new relationships are created.
