Lauren Brincat (Western Syd­ney, Aus­tralia 1980) works with performance, video, installation and sculpture to explore movement, music, and rhythm.  She often creates site responsive work that probes his­tor­i­cal rup­tures and fail­ures of lan­guage, integrating local communities while exploring non-ver­bal modes of expres­sion through the use of sound sculptures and performance instruments.

In Brincat’s videos, she often per­forms in rel­a­tive soli­tude. In such works, she push­es her phys­i­cal and cog­ni­tive lim­its, fol­low­ing rule-based actions. Her ‘walk­ing pieces’ occur in vast­ly dif­fer­ent con­texts, from emp­ty fields, to busy urban sites, and the ocean. Other video works take the form of doc­u­ment­ed and often repet­i­tive actions. Col­lab­o­ra­tion is an impor­tant part of Brin­cat’s prac­tice; featuring per­cus­sion­ists, archi­tects, sci­en­tists, chore­o­g­ra­phers, eques­tri­an rid­ers and indige­nous horse whis­per­ers. Her use of fabric is intended to symbolize social cohesion, akin to a metaphorical social fabric, she experiments with different ways it interacts with body, space, and gender.
