09 with Devika Bilimoria - Artist and Photographer based in Melbourne/Australia

Light Lounge

Devika Bilimoria and I speak about the moment in time, capturing beauty and constant change in light, lighting design, space and being. Also how much trust and well being is needed in order to be our true selfs and feel as best as we can. You can see her amazing work at www.devikabilimoria.com and meet her at the mapping Melbourne festival: http://multiculturalarts.com.au/event/home/ http://multiculturalarts.com.au/event/murti/ Please say hi and ask a question on Instagram: thomas_mnich Devika Bilimoria (b.1985, Ba Fiji) is an interdisciplinary artist who dissects migrated rituals, dance and gesture to conjure contemporary experiences of hybridity. She utilises material such as paint, digital data, and her body to engage interconnectivity, intention and intra-action. Through site-responsive movement, repetition and digital technology Devika explores the ontological conundrum of inside/outside, which queer ecology examines. Her education spans from both a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies and Fine Arts (Photography) at RMIT, to Bharata Natyam and Odissi training at the Chandrabhanu Bharatalaya Academy of Indian Dance in Melbourne since 1995. Devika has been a finalist for the Bowness Photography Prize 2015 and 2018, the Nillumbik Prize for her video pieces in 2016 and 2018, and the Macquarie Digital Portrait Award, screening her video piece An Arctic Time Signatureat the National Portrait Gallery in ACT, 2015.
