Pavitra Wickramasinghe

ISEA2020

Pavitra Wickramasinghe (Sri Lanka/Canada) is a multidisciplinary artist mainly concerned with new ways of conceptualizing the moving image and conventions of seeing. She uses light and shadows as extensions of the projected image to create installations where the viewer occupies filmic space instead of being physically removed from the work. Her current work is an exploration of notions of travelling, the fluidity of place and memory. Pavitra’s work has been exhibited in Montreal, Canada and beyond, and she has held numerous artist residencies and received several awards and grants.
