Debby Akam
Debby Akam uses digital art, painting, and site-specific video-installations, sometimes in
collaboration with others. She has exhibited widely and worked on contextual projects, in a
dairy farm, a trout farm, a DIY store, and a French fishing village. Recent video- installations
have focused on the dissolving barriers between the natural and the artificial, charting
journeys or passages through real and imaginary landscapes, travelling between realms, and
returning refreshed after connecting with nature.
She is interested in finding new ways of allowing others to contribute content to
collaborative artworks. She met with local Moseley residents, to gather responses about
Moseley Baths, and other more natural opportunities for swimming to create her site-specific.

identity and sound, with echoes of dark isolation and peacefulness. He believes that sound can

worlds and dimensions.

Festival, Netherlands; The Krannert Art Museum, Illinois; Fed Square, Melbourne, Australia;
Mosting Hus, Copenhagen, Denmark and Worldwide Moving Image III at East Village, New York.
