Lila Bullen Smith

Lila Bullen-Smith is an artist from South Africa/Aotearoa currently based in Amsterdam. Her research is concerned with accessing, sharing, and understanding local memory and history through an array of neglected senses, particularly ones that aren’t so easily archived or documented, such as taste and smell. These phenomenological, sense-based investigations into site-specific histories trace the opaque circulation of capital, labour and ecologies in our landscape. Her practice ranges in materiality, working across text, cookery, olfaction, metallurgy, sculpture, and installation.
