Christina May Carey

Encompassing moving image, photography, sound and installation, Christina May Carey’s practice is rooted in the symbiotic relationship between the natural world, our bodies and consciousness. In this highly charged installation, Carey responds to a series of vivid hallucinations experienced by her during episodes of sleep paralysis. Operating on asynchronous loops, the work prompts a sense that opposing emotional states are playing out against each other. The body of work responds to a feeling of disequilibrium­ – a loss of our innate sense of our own bodies – as boundaries between work and leisure dissolve in an external world navigated through screens.
