immersive drawing

Originally conceived of as something to be voyeuristically peeped at through a peephole, Birgitta Hosea’s Holes has been re-engineered for the exhibition Momentum in the immersive space at Krupa Art Foundation, Wroclaw, Poland.

It has become a new experience, from something interior and hidden that you peep at through a small opening into another world, it has become exterior – a whole audiovisual world that you can walk into.

The artist said, ‘I really enjoyed how visitors explored the experience with their whole bodies and entered into the world of my film’.

The film was wrapped around three walls and the floor of the space.

Holes, a solo exhibition by Birgitta Hosea at South Hill Park Arts Centre

Installed within a peepshow, Holes is an abstract animation that hints at a visceral journey through the female body traced by oil pastels, milk, ink, detergent, lipstick and pomegranates using hand drawing, fingers, After Effects and a microscopic camera.

The exhibition at South Hill Park Arts Centre spread across the foyer, gallery and cafe spaces. It included production drawings used in the making of the film, and immersive drawings created after it was finished. Visitors were invited to participate by drawing their response to the show on an antique mirror.
