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.

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. 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.
