Arini Byng, Jess Gall & Rebecca Jensen

Jess Gall b. 1994, based in Naarm (Melbourne).
Approaches working through collaborative means with peers, practitioners and performers within her immediate community, as a means of collectively measuring how we fail or exceed within our own corporeal limits. Her practice addresses the dichotomy between production and presentation of performance as both imagery and event. Jess studied her BFA (hons) at RMIT. Her background in photography informs the development of an established cross-disciplinary approach to negotiating the current constraints of embodied performance practices, within institutional contexts, and the tension between visuality and presence. She is currently on a pursuit of disrupting dominant hierarchies of viewing, in order to critically shift the lenses through which performing bodies are comprehended. Jess has exhibited/performed at c3 contemporary arts space, Irene Rose Gallery, Blindside, TCB, Bus Projects, and 215 Albion. Jess acknowledges that she lives and works on the unceded sovereign land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, and pays respect to elders past, present and emerging.
