Floating Female is a new five-channel project that explores internal and external states of consciousness. Lauta’s video installations draw from a northern European tradition that ascribes mysterious, romantic, and spiritual qualities to the natural landscape. Her works are characterized by an undertone of unresolved suspense, the latent fear of a fatal event that is not directly revealed to the viewer. The artist’s camera does not present a decisive moment but functions instead as an instrument of premonition and doubt. Austere light, a lush palette, and evocative sound combine in Lauta’s work to create liminal spaces that linger in memory.
