Eloise Calandre is an artist who lives and works in Brighton and London. She uses a range of media including photography, writing, games design, augmented reality, drawing and performance.
Her work focuses on uncovering peripheries of space where layers of time converge and manifest, often conjured through discovery of displaced items or unexpected encounters. Calandre journeys through urban folds, wild areas, domestic and play spaces. She is interested in the synergy between physical and virtual.
She has exhibited in the UK and internationally. She has studied MA Photography at RCA, London and MA Video Games Art & Design at Goldsmiths, London. She is currently Senior Lecturer in BA (Hons) Fine Art and BA (Hons) Fashion Communication, at Brighton University.
