Interview: Jesc Bunyard
Performance, disruption and the photographic
Jesc Bunyard (born 1991) has been having a busy year.
Following her success in Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014, with which her work
toured from Liverpool to Newlyn, via the ICA, she had a residency at the
Collusion Real Time Lab in Cambridge in January 2015, and went on to show her
film work at the Whitechapel, before being shortlisted as a finalist in the
Digital Graffiti juried art competition at Alys Beach, Florida. She is about to
have some of her film works shown at the Wysing Arts Centre annual art and
music festival, Space-Time: The
Multiverse, on 5 September 2015. Only graduating from Goldsmiths with a BA
in Fine Art and Art History two years ago, Bunyard has achieved a lot, fast,
but she still only sees herself as an emerging artist. She is about to go back
to Goldsmiths and embark upon an MA in Contemporary Art Theory.
Anna McNay had an email conversation with Bunyard about her
multidisciplinary approach to combining photography, film, performance and
installation, placing her viewer in an immersive and perceptually challenging
environment.
