Curator
Daisy-Drew Smith works with photography and film, their current work uses photographic prints to create juxtapositions and references to horror movies. Smith is inspired by the surrealist aspects of this kind of cinema, focusing on the dream-like and heightened reality. They are interested in the parallels that stylised horror draws from real events and the effects of trauma. They want to keep true to ‘movie magic’, using editing, lighting and practical effects to create realistic scenes of horror. Smith uses their photos to create fake cinematic universes, they think of their various photo series as different films.
