Lucy Ellis is an experimental animator based in London. In her work she explores the digital and analogue through experimenting with process and materiality. She enjoys working with scrap and found materials repurposing them to form new identities and narratives differing from their original purpose or intention. The texture of materials is important to her practice, exploring how it evokes memory and time.

01 DAZED X RABANNE ARTS FACTORY
2024
I was selected as the inaugural winner for Dazed X Rabanne’s Arts Factory in which I followed a creative brief where we had to ‘visualise new realities’ in response.
Exploring the physical proximity between device and humans and contrast between ‘technophilia’ and ‘technophobia’ towards our devices. Our devices become more than a phone or laptop, but become a friend, a romantic partner, an extension of ourselves as we share intimacy with the device (e.g. sitting on the toilet with our phones, sleeping with our devices, watching porn on our devices etc). The human becomes a peripheral.
