Selected Works
Martine Syms (b. 1988, Los Angeles) has earned wide recognition for a practice that combines conceptual grit, humour and social commentary. Working across film, video, programming, photography, drawing, sculpture, performance, installation and publishing, she blurs the boundaries between mediums. Syms’s videos and installations are highly technical, reflecting her acute attention to detail in cinematography, sound and editing. Syms uses filmmaking as a means of storytelling to uncover personal and societal truths and employs sound to foster dialogue and form/perform identities – a method of speaking through listening that renders the invisible tangible.
