Ella Walsh

As a mixed-media artist and filmmaker known for my process driven approach to storytelling, I explore the fascinating space where analogue meets digital, using moving image to evoke lyricism and connection. 

A hallmark of my practice is my ability to create work that allows me to connect with myself and others. I see each project as a living vessel that comes alive through the collective creativity of the entire team.

For my graduation project, I developed the concept of “chorono mophobia”, to describe the anxiety of dancing freely in live music spaces, where the fear of being recorded or of not capturing the moment prevents genuine connection on the dance floor. Documenting London gig spaces using film, animation, and interactive installations, I explore how the awareness of being watched stops us from losing ourselves through movement. 

Following my Moving Image Bachelor’s in The Netherlands, I continue to use my practice as an invitation to experiment, let go, and to reclaim the space to look stupid and dance freely.
