Tania Lou Smith’s work is part vaudeville, part feminist ennui. She works with video, photography and live performance to perform autobiographical concerns. Playing with costume, props and gesture, she finds the comedic in the tools of drudgery. She is an untrained dancer and busy mum.
“Smith’s world is a playground full of such small pleasures and tiny ruptures in the diurnal structures to which we are all ineveitably bound… She combines humour, costume, composition and play in sophisticated ways to upset a pernicious cultural binary that sees female bodies as either controlled automatons, or horrific, chaotic agents of destruction- with few points between.” - Jessie Scott
