/ \ / Pendulum (2019)
A triple pendulum’s unpredictable movements captured in high speed. Chaos theory visualised. Sound by Robin Koek.
NTRNL RFLCTN (2020)
NTRNL RFLCTN is a compilation of moving image sequences in which light is the only subject matter. Featuring footage of incandescent light sources, accompanied by a soundtrack derived from sonified light data, this experimental short film is a poetic exploration of light’s foundational role in photography and photomedia.
Sonia Mangiapane
Sonia Mangiapane is a photomedia artist working with processes defined primarily by their interaction with light, as opposed to the exclusive use of the camera. Employing a range of camera-based and cameraless methods her practice takes the form of photographic prints, moving image works and other light-based interventions. Themes such as the tourist gaze, Nature and the underlying constructions of the photographic are the focus of her work.
Sonia was born and raised (a 15-minute drive from Bunjil Place) on unceded Bunurong country and is the daughter of Italian immigrants. She lived and worked in the Netherlands from 2012-2024 and is currently based in Naarm/Melbourne.
