How is the nomadic artist implicated in the promises and paradoxes of global mobility?

Through site-specific and travel-led processes, Beth Dillon's practice inhabits tensions between heroic projections of mobility as a tool of individual transformation, freedom and resistance, and the concrete administrative, legal, political, economic and cultural conditions that shape the movements of contemporary travellers.

Using materials gathered through the lived experience of international residency programs, long-distance walks, and cross-border romance, Dillon plays with the contradictions and collusions of the nomadic artist in an age of globalisation. Through video installation, photography and digital collage, Dillon combines elements of humour, role-playing and performative intervention to stage both the pleasures and frustrations, the possibilities and limitations, of nomadism as an artistic strategy and lifestyle.
