Leala Faleseuga
Leala Faleseuga (Sāmoan, Salelologa, and Dutch, Limburg & Friesland, Pākeha) is a multi-disciplinary artist with an ever-evolving practice that currently includes video, digital collage, writing, and alternative photography. She has exhibited her work in solo shows, as well as part of the 7558 Collective.
Faleseuga creates rapid, repetitive analogue and digital photographic cycles and is fascinated by the rapidly changing technology of photography and moving image, particularly lo-fi and easily accessible tech, and apps that recreate analogue processes. Faleseuga’s work will often be re-projected and re-videoed upon the body or in a space, in which the art becomes a light source, and the cycle of re-working begins again.
