Aislinn Evans

An interview with artist Aislinn Evans, discussing the recent exhibition "Road Movie" at Eastbury Manor House, and their connection to the A13 and Barking & Dagenham.

Aislinn Evans is an artist and writer from East London. They use lo-fi, defunct, affordable means – outdated digital video, childhood CRTs, tapes and DVDs. Images from video erupt into print and are reincorporated as artefacts, backdrops, slides, and window works. An expanded-cinema practice, Evans approaches film-making as a form of performance, embracing the encounters and odd bits that build towards the final product on the screen. Their practice is grounded in DIY, unattractive, and community-oriented artistic endeavours in London’s eastern peripheries; and challenge the value placed on locations, on attention, and on the material we use to capture it.
