Rose Bond expands cinema — drawing new audiences into under-explored spaces. Her public animated installations co-inhabit a site, navigating its allegories of place, emanating glimpses of the everyday to illuminate layered accretions of memory so often overlooked.

Her new work, 1968, explores the transformative power of protest through allusions to 1968, a year charged by societal, cultural and political unrest. Animated from still photographs of both the iconic and mundane, the piece traces international interstices of history, human bonding and power in times of socio-cultural upheaval. Rose Bond’s 360° hand drawn animation interacts with Massimiliano Borghesi's spatialization of inti figgis-vizueta's original recording of 'Seven Sides of Fire' to ignite a dynamic, evocative and shared immersive experience.

Rose Bond’s evolving practice spans from indie animated shorts to installations to live projection to VR theatre. She is Canadian by birth and resides in Portland, Oregon.
