Eli Hooper (b. 2000) is a New Zealand born, Rotterdam based maker graduated in Photography at WdKA in 2023, and is currently exploring the cross-pollination between media, mass popular culture and the digitisation of nostalgia. Working primarily in photography, his work branches out into a whole range of other media, from audio-visual experiments to sculptural endeavors. Largely founded on image and sound-based research, Eli is using both practical and non-conventional methods to challenge the way we consider both the image pool and greater mass-archiving and consumption of media around us. Eli DJs and produces music under the name 10 sleep, WY and is an active participant in Rotterdam nightlife.

  • Finding the red thread in one's life throughout the chaos of the world is, to put it simply, a difficult task; in a system that is so sporadic, ever shifting at the hands of political, societal, and personal change, it seems like any remaining strand of coherency is, in effect, “lost to the void.” Yet, the necessity to find this thread has occurred more and more often throughout my life and practice, and arcadia, FL is my own attempt to tune in and harness the hidden frequencies of order.
