ALEXIS XAVIA

Alexis works predominantly with visual art such as film and photography. She has been working in this field for many years, starting in filmmaking. Her work often doesn’t live strictly in reality but is grounded in a way that is still relatable to the audience. She also makes art that speaks to a lot of unspoken or complicated to explain emotions, such as those we didn’t know had names. For example, sonder, the sudden realisation that everyone around you has complicated lives as well. Also, concepts such as fatal flaws or duality of man. In film, she particularly enjoys magical realism/fantasy and cathartic comedy. Occasionally choosing to create a world full of magic and wonder or occasionally creating a project where the audience gets a cathartic release through the characters.
