Designer &
Moving Image Artist
Carla Theurer is a Swiss and German designer and moving image artist based in London. Her practice takes many forms, including print and digital media to single and multi-channel video works and interactive installations. Since January 2023, she has been working as a Senior Creative with SHOWstudio in London.
After her bachelor's degree in Visual Communication at the University of Technology, Business and Design in Konstanz, Germany, she worked as a graphic designer and art director for 4 years in an interdisciplinary agency setting. To further develop her interest in new media technologies, large-scale installations and immersive digital experiences, she studied Information Experience Design at the Royal College of Art in London. A creative practice of intervening in, designing and generating experiences of complexity that communicate human, nonhuman and more-than-human perspectives and realities.
Throughout the Master's, she developed a deep understanding of critical and experimental media production, creation and design practice. Hence the core aim of her work is to experiment with a diversity of methods and approaches that cross boundaries between digital and analogue. Creating compelling multi-media experiences combining the creative potential of new technologies with the advantages of established media formats, transforming information into a narrative experience to challenge, inspire and immerse audiences.
Statement
The screen has become an agent in our understanding of the world and the representation of our reality. The viewers take on a media-related vision that confronts them with a peculiar way of relating to the world.
Based on philosophical and sociological theories of representation and human perception, Carla’s work reflects the changes in image display and experience in the 21st century. Looking at the screen as both a symptom and an agent of contemporary pop culture, she investigates how the new, mobile places of images affect the production of images and alter our conception and experience of reality and the external world.
Her recent projects have been questioning the perception of the everyday by exploring the screen as an idea and an experience. In her works, she isolates objects, experiences and events in order to reexamine the relationship they have to one other and to their environment.
