Gen Doy London, United Kingdom
I am interested in myth, history and ways in which the historical can collide and interact with the contemporary. Giving voice to, and making visible, people and events which have been ignored or marginalised is important to me, as is the creation of a political artistic practice.
Starting from ideas and concepts, questions and politics, I enjoy researching historical and contemporary sources and selecting appropriate media to realise each project. I am particularly concerned by climate change, degradation of nature, extinctions and the exploitation of nature and humanity for profit. I use various media in my work, including sound, field recordings, song and live performance. I also work with images and texts, in order to construct narratives that are not linear, but evocative and open to creative interpretation by the viewer and listener.
