Kayla Parker

Artist film-maker whose research interests centre around subjectivity and place, embodiment and technological mediation, from feminist perspectives, with an interest in expanded and 360 cinema.

Her work is shown worldwide across public, gallery and online spaces, with network television broadcasts on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4; and in Australia, Canada, France, Austria, and Ger-many. Recently, her short films have been screened in the UK at FACT Liverpool, Tate Modern, the De La Warr Pavilion, and Saatchi Gallery, and she was a featured artist on Art on the Under-ground’s Canary Wharf Screen programme throughout summer 2012. Her work was exhibited at the Hong Kong Contemporary 2013, and in Romania, Slovac Republic, and Australia; and pre-sented by Directors’ Lounge in Berlin and at Contemporary Art Ruhr.

In her practice she uses animation, photography, sound, performance, found objects, drawing and writing, working with film-based and digital technologies to explore the intersection be-tween the natural world and urban environments, in particular the forgotten, liminal spaces of the city.

Kayla is a Lecturer in Media Arts with Plymouth University, where she is a member of the Land/Water and the Visual Arts, art + sound, and Moving Image Arts (MIA) research clusters; she also contributes regularly to Theatre, Dance and Performance research and to the wider University research culture.
