About
Sylvia Rimat is a German and British performance maker/ artist, based in Bristol. Her work manifests in various formats, spanning studio shows, one-on-one performance, site-specific work, a geo-located audio-walk as part of a tailor-made App, audio installation, audio sculpture in public space and a site-specific book publication.
Characterised by playful audience interaction and strong visual aesthetics, her work deals with processes of the human mind, drawing on scientific research, personal experiences and our imagination, to ask big questions. More recent work explores our connectivity with the natural world, as well as notions of care beyond the human species and climate action. The development of her work follows a collaborative approach, connecting with academics/ researchers and people from diverse communities.
Her staged performances have been presented throughout the UK, Europe and in Australia, including the British Council Showcase at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, London’s Barbican Centre in SPILL Festival, Cambridge Junction, In Between Time Festival (Bristol), various venues in Denmark, Poland, Germany and Spain, and in Australia (Sydney Festival, Proximity Festival, Perth).
Sylvia is a Pervasive Media Studio resident, a member of artist collective Residence and part of #CultureDeclares.
