Video description: A collage of fragments - a dusty road captured on Google Earth, archival glimpses of South Asian docents, old cinema clips and FaceTime footage, culminating in the surreal, artificial wave.

Our collection is constantly expanding with exciting new works produced by LUX artists every year.
Check out these snippets of three new works made in 2024, currently in distribution.
‘The Invisible Worm’ (2024) by Rosalind Nashashibi is a spontaneous exploration of artistic personas, friendships and collaboration featuring the artist’s long term collaborator Elena Narbutaitė, Pietro Nashashibi and a cat named Aloysha.
In ‘Being John Smith’ (2024), artist John Smith navigates family photographs and personal archives with humour and melancholy, reflecting on his life as an artist and the themes of mortality.
‘Máthair’ (2024) by Keira Greene weaves the personal and the historical as the artist reflects on her mother’s secretive past in a Catholic Mother and Baby Home, exploring themes of institutional oppression and family trauma.
