Erica Baltimore

film - photography - diversity - Diaspora - artistic research

Erica Baltimore makes your brain travel and, above all, leaves you amazed.
Her photo and film images resemble tranquil paintings. All staged images, but she always leaves room for improvisation. That is important for her working method. Her works are personal journeys through her life and at the same time universal images. At the moment she is exploring her roots, not only cultural heritage, but also physical roots and roots that we share.

Grow and strengthen until they can continue from their own strength. Open and exposed with unknown spectators who watch and study you. The vulnerable individual and life course that still has a whole life ahead of it. Responding to every stimulus, light and heat impulse.

Her Inner View 2014

Project

  • In collaboration with: Ellis Faas, Camalot, Amsterdam Fund For The Arts.
  • Location: Dutch Film Festival 2014, Utrecht
  • Introspective visualization of a young woman's psychological swings. In an abstract retro-style interior, she seems to be waiting, feeling, experiencing. Her perceptions slowly but surely assume unsettling shapes and proportions. When a box with something in it is put on her doorstep, it turns out a breakthrough in her apathetic and angst-ridden mind is possible. Her isolation seems finite and a new emotional era sets in.
