Savannah Lamal

Lamal works across a variety of media including photography, sculpture, installation, architecture and sound art.  Her practice is based on using re-framing strategies to study and distill taxonomies of materials sourced from the digital commons and historical archives in order to reveal quotidian relationships and the latent systems produced by them.

PALIMPSEST 


This series is part of a multi media body of work currently in progress, investigating hyperobjects anchored around the port of Vancouver, British Columbia; coalescing the parts and effects of extractive industries, global trade, climate change, insults to indigenous sovereignty, labour exploitation, ecological destruction, etc., all issues humanity confronts as a species, at every scale of social formation.

While designing spaces for the exhibition of art as an architect working at Herzog & de Meuron, it became clear to Lamal that she yearned to be the maker of artworks housed in these spaces rather than the designer of these exhibition spaces. From that moment onwards her art practice began and has been an exploration in scale, working from interior, to architecture, to urban fabric, and industrial infrastructure, from supply chains and economic systems, to the hyperobjects produced by the interaction of these entities.
