Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis is a multidisciplinary artist from Cork City, she graduated from the Technological University Dublin, Sherkin Island, 2020.

She creates participatory sculptural sound installations, experimental performance art film installations and performance art photography. Her work is informed by neurological phenomena and well-being. She expresses feelings of disorder caused by contemporary stresses. She also highlights climate issues using performative methods and experimental sound. She uses low-fi camera techniques and has recently began breaking the fourth wall bringing her body out of the screen into the world exploring expanded cinema. Vicki has been undergoing a process of self-diagnosis into overlooked neurodivergent traits while seeking out therapeutic tools through art, movement and circus arts.

She has recently started to bring the body out of the screen and into a live setting through expanded cinema which has led her to study an MA in Film at Ulster University, Belfast, where she is going down the documentary filmmaking route alongside 360 virtual production and spatial sound recording.  

Her film and performance combinations have screened at CineSalon Experimental Film Festival, IndieCork Film Festival and Uillinn, West Cork Art Centre. Her photographic work has been exhibited at Sample-Studios Member Summer Exhibition and CIACLA Contemporary Irish Arts Centre, Los Angeles.
