Nataša Prosenc Stearns
Nataša Prosenc Stearns is a Slovenian-born Los Angeles-based visual artist and filmmaker working in the field of Expanded Moving Image, dissolving the boundaries between film, video, print, and installation. Her work explores subconscious worlds, the materiality of the body, contemporary alienation, and the elemental force of water. She received her BA from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana and moved to Los Angeles on a Fulbright Grant to pursue an MFA at the California Institute of the Arts.
Nataša represented Slovenia at the 48th Venice Biennale and has exhibited internationally at institutions including the Doulun Museum of Art, ARCO Madrid, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art Ljubljana. Her films and videos have screened at SXSW, Films de Femmes, and the Brooklyn Film Festival, among others.
Her immersive installations seek to reconnect viewers with the “life-world” — experience prior to analysis — creating sensorial environments where body, perception, and nature converge. Balancing physical intimacy with transcendence, her work invites audiences into spaces where the boundaries between self and world begin to dissolve.
