NADIA BERRI
MFA Central Saint Martins, London.
I work with objects, installation, video and sound.
My work aims at expanding and intensifying human awareness of the actualities of daily existence. I want to awaken the individual's sensibility - the capacity to see, feel and think. This might enrich one's experience of the most fundamental, primal elements that are the agents of our everyday life. I view the world as a phenomenon waiting to be explored without the constraints and limitation imposed by established systems of interpretations and evaluation.

It is in this space that his work aims to expand the possibilities of what animation may be.
Silas graduated in Video from Swansea Institute and went on to graduate from Royal College Of Art in 2010 with an MA in Animation.
Silas’s films have been screened internationally and he has run a series of experimental animation workshops most recently at Frieze Art Fair and St Martins.
