Nirma Madhoo
<span class="not-set">(not set)</span>
Based between Durban and Melbourne, Nirma Madhoo is a fashion filmmaker and researcher. Having started as a fashion designer, the artist transitioned towards modern fashion filmography, a need that blossomed from a panoply of interdisciplinary interests. Working with emergent technologies, Madhoo expresses fashion as more than just a wearable luxury: she directs experiences through the juxtaposition of videography, CGI, 3D printing, microcontrollers, VR, AR, and more. Playing with mirroring techniques, digital environments, floating models and futuristic themes, the artist proposes new ways of understanding fashion as we know it. Leading with a collaborative approach, her artworks remind us of the exciting possibilities that are born from the merging of fashion and new technologies. Madhoo’s film productions have been presented internationally at short-film festivals, fashion film festivals and digital art festivals.
