Sid Motion Gallery is delighted to announce that Sriram Venkatesh is the 2023 winner of the Sid Motion Gallery Prize at Central Saint Martins.
Venkatesh works with 3D animation and VR to reflect on the internal states of being, in particular dreams and memories. Venkatesh states "The medium of 3D animation allows me to effectively materialise my internal experiences, turning the inward outwards... From vast, internal landscapes, to claustrophobic, nightmarish rooms, I want to record all of it in as much vivid detail as possible – I want to capture the language of my dreams and its visual vocabulary." Venkatesh creates his worlds, cinematic in their angles and painterly in their use of light.
For the degree show, Venkatesh presented three films on screens in a line, each can be viewed here:
Thought Log: A Nameless Land
Dream Log: St Christopher's School
Dream Log: Adliya Gardens
