Laura
GANNON

Laura Gannon is a visual artist who works in the media of 16mm, super 8 film, and drawing.
She recently completed a film Sala Della Musica which was filmed in 2004 in Venice and is currently working on a super 16 mm film set in E1027 in France, the modernist house designed by Eileen Gray.

Gannon's films and drawings proceed with a continual slippage, 'reconciling light and shadow, the frontal and the tangent, precision and incertitude, stillness and dynamism, sound and silence, analytic acuity and blurry irresolution' to reveal ambiguities, interpretative equivocations, the indistinct spaces or forms of disorientation and imperceptibility. The undercurrent of her work is a fundamentally personal exploration of intimate and interwoven stories, exploring themes of a changing society and the individual.
