Artist and filmmaker Lilah Benetti (b.1988 Australia) considers their artistic approach as autoethnographic, exploring the expansive convergence of gender, sexuality, and racial dynamics to envisage proximate futures. Speculative and imaginative, their work interplays elements of reality and imagination, leveraging fiction as a tool to illuminate lost and obscured narratives within the context of global Indigenous Black culture. Benetti delves into both traditional and spiritual knowledge to gain insight into contemporary worldviews, fostering a creative process that pioneers new modes of resistance while embracing free-from expression. Considering the boundaries of still and moving image as fluid and porous, Benetti explores storytelling through a variety of techniques often through large scale public installation pushing the medium's possibilities through scale, method and presentation.
