About this Event
Join Nina Davies in conversation with Sean Ketteringham, curator of Phantasmagoria, to hear more about her practice and her work Image Syncers featured in the exhibition. Nina will also discuss her work, Glitch Guisers, which will be performed in front of the Henry Moore Institute earlier in the afternoon at 2pm and 3pm.
Nina Davies’ (b. 1991, Canada) studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art, London and Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work has been exhibited at FACT, Liverpool (2025); Western Front, Vancouver (2025); The Photographer’s Gallery, London (2024); and Matt’s Gallery, London (2023). Her work considers dance in popular culture, particularly its dissemination, circulation and consumption. Working primarily with video, sculpture and performance, Davies considers the technological roots of dance phenomena such as TikTok dances and video game choreography, focusing on the commodification of the dancing body and speculatively reframing contemporary dances as the folk dances of the future. Davies’s work oscillates between fiction and non-fiction, often using a fictional podcast from the near future to comment on our lived encounters with today’s technological culture. Her work offers new critical frameworks for engaging with dance practices and the digitisation of human body.
