Photography & Films
Malo Sutra Fish - photographer - filmmaker - writer
Works of a photosensitive epileptic woman.
MaLo Sutra Fish is a French visual artist currently based in Paris, born in 1985. Her practice is set between the USA - mostly the East Coast - and France, and focuses on her passion for film as a format and material through Photography and Filmmaking. She currently is a member at the cinema collective L'Etna (France), at the art collective Flux Factory (USA) and partial member of Gowanus Darkroom (USA) and regularly collaborates with AgX (USA).
Her prior areas of focus are collaborations particularly in short film and music video making. Her current work with the moving image includes a trilogy in association with Isao Yamada; Super 8 music videos made in collaboration with US Independent Music Scene (Osees, Flat Worms, + more ), known as the “Performance Series”. Her latest photographic series focus on the different aesthetics of memory - “the images we have in our brains” - studying and experimenting processing and printing techniques.
This focus on chemicals and lab techniques is the common thread between her film and photographic work. Despite using digital cameras, her core practice revolves around the defense of the analogue art form, particularly the processing of films and the making of prints. Her passion to play, experiment, investigate, and embrace all imperfections of cameras, lenses and films has no limit, thus why Experimental Art is the foundation of her work. She considers all projects part of an acquisition process of new skills or techniques, as well as unapologetically considering trials as artwork themselves yet differentiating a first draft from a final one.
Educated at the Lycée International de St-Germain-En-Laye, she also holds a double bachelor in Art History & Art Distribution. She has worked in film distribution, film production, stage production, film and photography festivals, publishing, and translation. Epileptic photosensitive, her training as an artist is either through mentorship and/or DIY approach.
