Jasmine Te Hira

"Jasmine Te Hira is an installation-based and experience-focused practitioner currently working around the boundaries of object, video, atmosphere and constructed space.
   
Each body of work largely explores how we relate, process, experience and feedback our individual perspectives to the larger whole via a range of mediums and interaction points. Heavily based in process, highlighting key concerns such as time, memory and perception, her practice invites the viewer to engage and confront the relationship between the physical (through objects – artefacts) and their potentiality in being used as facts and evidence in mapping the moving world of recorded action and reason. Jasmine's practice considers the way in which taonga trace skin often embodying indigenous knowledges while traversing institutional critique and spaces. The engagement of video has manifested in the ritualistic layering of irretraceable fragments of movements and appropriations of understandings to rebuild new considerations of embodied knowledge, thought and experience of space."
