Tasha Lizak / 𝓪𝓼𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻

What is the meaning of this world itself to be a human?

What is selfness if not the inner gaze of a biological organism that is technically and culturally modified so that it believes itself not to be an object but simply as self.

The necessity for gazing inwards, feels heightened considering the dreamlessness of our surroundings, as we are situated in a state of liminality between a day-to-day performance anxiety and contemporary malaise.

𝓪𝓼𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻  explores the sub-surface layers of perception and into the unconscious; a realm of dreams and imagination; the neural pathway that make us inherently human. 

Tasha Lizak is a multidisciplinary artist and musician based in Glasgow, working primarily with animated moving image and sound. 

Her practice considers the dreamless surroundings of our present day and how it intensifies the richness of inner imagination. Exploring the inner gaze, her work considers the exquisite corpse as an architectural framework of our being, examining how conflicting emotions, beliefs and sensations form the scaffold of our personas. Through gothic motifs and film noir influences, she creates digital worlds collaging digital animation, film, imagery and sound to create surrealist ecologies of the minds interior.

Vocally driven sound, sometimes ethereal and other times primordial, enhances the sensation of these interior spaces as buried realities. The vibrations of the voice underscore that these structures are inherently human, underlining the physiological connection we have to places, real or imagined.

She has exhibited at the Fluxus Museum(GR), Somerset House Studios (UK), The Wrong Biennale and Outpost Gallery (UK), and was also the recipient of the Scottish Sculpture Workshop Graduate Award Residency.
