Sabina Maselli is filmmaker and artist whose moving-image based works are presented as films, film stills, installations and live performances, with a focus on 16mm analogue filmmaking. She uses both analogue techniques and digital processing through a very physical and alchemical engagement with her materials.

Her practice explores humanity’s relationship with the natural world (ecological consciousness, ecofeminism), and she sees her works as sites for transformation between body, nature, memory and technology, and how they manifest in the physical, material, mystical, and mythological realms.

***

Melody Woodnutt works primarily within the expanded field of 16mm analogue moving image film. Artworks take form as large scale immersive installations, expanded cinema, short 16mm films, or printed photographic film stills. Melody's films are often made from an alchemical feminist position as default (alongside bio-art's concept of “witches in labs”).

With a deep pull towards unknowable realms such as the sea, cosmos, or spectral worlds, alongside explorations of society, intimacy and poetics the consequent artworks become abstracted glimpses of an otherworldliness; becoming privy to the veil of a thing-in-itself. Comparable to a poem’s ability to obscure and reveal while holding myriad meanings, the same approach is taken in her work.
