MEANING MACHINES
Sophie Siem
Jan - Feb 2020
"The collages have operated as mini ‘meaning machines’ for me. I started making them last year because I wanted to construct a practice that felt more simple and tactile than the films and animations I had previously been creating. The result has been intriguing for me. The juxtaposition of text and image contained within each collage offers me an insight to unseen parts of an internal landscape that is rich with questions and curiosities."
During my early 20s I often worked at the analogue film lab, ‘no.w.here’, on Bethnal Green Road. I’m delighted to be exhibiting my collages at The Beehive, just round the corner from where the lab was. The making of these images are all informed by my experiments in animation, which developed from working with the 16mm bolex cameras and optical printer at ‘no.w.here’."
Sophie Siem is a mixed media artist who works between London and Tel Aviv
