Hannah Perry is a Goldsmiths and Royal Academy-educated graduate. Her more recent work and ideas involve 'experimenting with different ways to produce visual video installation in gallery spaces, playing with projection mapping, multiple screens, and the potential for projections to become more sculptural.'
“Dancing and sex are the most exciting things in life,” Perry continues. “Heartbeats and rhythms of life are reliable and offer stability.” When a screaming voice reverbs into ambience then, it grasps our attention. Hollowed memories of yesterdays dance floor, a motion picture portrait of a young woman, conversations breathed between sets, break. At an exhibit at Peckham’s Arcadia_Missa, you’re lifted out of the moment only to realise you are looking at a screen. Snapshots of footage loop within videos, re-cut into new contexts, asking us what was and what is, much like in Gasper Noe’s Irreversible, where the story begins with the end but faster, with a deliberate lack of quality-control. One minute we’re watching a YouTube video uploaded off a webcam, the next, a recorded conversation with friends or a jpeg. Footage and audio corroborate or clash, neither narrative nor aesthetic is king. “I work from what I know with videos. They’re rich and abundant, but I try and make the work, not merely an autobiography, but a portrait that is understood from the viewer as well that is empathised with.”
“I portray that moment in a relationship where you think your partner is being disloyal to you, whether that is actually happening or not, in that moment, it seems real. I try to use this idea of our perceptions of reality to play against other ideas in film.” First cars became and now cell phones are perceived as extensions of personality. Images, audio and the ‘smilies’ we share replace gestures as internationally understood symbols of self-expression."

Relation
“I portray that moment in a relationship where you think your partner is being disloyal to you, whether that is actually happening or not, in that moment, it seems real.”
I feel with what she has said in one sentence has identified and described a large part in a past relationship I have had. As this past relationship has had a huge affect on me and is a major subject matter in my past and current art work, I feel this is an important point to bring up.
Perception
'our perceptions of reality to play against other ideas'
Everybody perceives things in different ways.
When creating my own work, part of the process is selecting found images that turns the meaning of the image into something else. Another process that I go through is choosing the right image/s for the text(if I use text) which when put together can change the meaning of both elements.
