Artist Statement
Henny is a filmmaker concerned with humanistic narratives executed in innovative ways. Since her dissertation in her final year Henny has discovered Artists’ Moving Image and has been exploring this genre in her film projects since. Her films involve a documentary style realism conveying aspects of the unconscious mind such as memories. She is influenced by classic video artists of the 1960’s such as Nam June Paik as well as feminist artist Pipilotti Rist. The result is a DIY, emotive and sometimes comedic video art installation.Henny is a filmmaker concerned with humanistic narratives executed in innovative ways.

Video Art for Insomniacs
I wanted to use video art to guide people suffering with sleeplessness to an anxiety free night. The film is about not forcing yourself to sleep which never works anyway. I also visually represent the idea of soul fragmentation with two circles as insomnia can often be caused by a ‘tug of war’ between two parts of yourself wanting different things. The coming together of the circles represents me acknowledging each part of my mind’s desires. It ends with a spiritual dream space in-between sleep and awake where I finally drift off. January 2020
