Kayla Parker is a long-time Artist film-maker whose research interests centre around subjectivity and place, embodiment and technological mediation, from feminist perspectives, with an interest in the interface between still and moving image. Her work is shown worldwide across public, gallery and online spaces, with network television broadcasts on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4; and in Australia, Canada, France, Austria, and Germany.
Recently, her short films have been screened in the UK at De La Warr Pavilion, FACT Liverpool, Tate Modern, and Saatchi Gallery, and she was a featured artist on Art on the Underground’s Canary Wharf Screen programme throughout summer 2012; her work was exhibited at the Hong Kong Contemporary 2013, and in the USA, Romania, Slovac Republic, and Australia; and presented by Directors’ Lounge in Berlin and at Contemporary Art Ruhr.
In her practice she uses animation, photography, sound, performance, found objects, drawing, writing, working with film-based and digital technologies to explore the intersection between the natural world and urban environments, in particular the forgotten, liminal spaces of the city.
Kayla is also a Lecturer in Media Arts with Plymouth University, where she contributes regularly to research in arts and humanities. Her chapter ‘Jamming the machine: the personal-political in Annabel Nicolson’s Reel Time’ is included in The Arts and popular culture in history, published by University of Plymouth Press in September 2013.
