About Me
- barbara malaran
- MULTIMEDIA MIXER: Barbara Malaran My artwork takes on an experimental view of travel, migration and assimilation, most specifically with locating ties to imagining homelands, occupational and gender identities, to manipulating time working against memory decay. Such touchstones are influential, emerging with stories about my family’s Philippine heritage, adopting national pride post WW2, observing immigrant populations into the US while forever reinterpreting family stories, desires and locations which no longer exist; rather through storytelling and fading photographs, as all share a remarkable sense of place among generations of newcomers. Often these themes have been personally explored through a variety of mediums, from family home movie archives I shot starting when I was 10, to learning audio and video design, as a study in memory. Coming out of these mediums, my works evolved into creating interactive video installations on the stories of a body in transit, moving away from home and self.
