Mark Aerial Waller

Working in video, sculpture and event based practices, artist Mark Aerial Waller provides both an interpretation and interruption of cinema history. With recourse to technological and narrative mechanisms, Waller stretches, reiterates and at times perverts the mainstream vocabulary of structure and dramatic staging. All of Waller’s practice requires viewers to be alert interpreters, able to respond, evaluate, judge, transform and be transformed.

Waller participated in The 11th edition of the Baltic Triennial of International Art, CAC Vilnius, Lithuania in August to September 2012. In 2012 he also exhibited in ‘Superpower: Africa in Science Fiction’, curated by Nav Haq at Arnolfini, Bristol.
