originally from Portugal and is based in London. She has a BA(Hons) inFilm & TV production from Westminster University and an HND in Multimedia from The Kent Institute of Art and Design. She is a Director, Producer and Video Artist who has been active for over 15 years. Her works range from documentaries, long and short films, experimental films and video art installations, produced in the UK, Italy, Portugal and at various global locations.
In her work she often explores notions of identity, form, human limit within a physical and mental realm and our relationship with society using the subconscious, surrealism and the counterfeit of being. She loves to mix the deceptive of the performance art, theater, circus, with life itself and thinks that the boundaries between the two realities are not so far from each other. Von Bonhorst uses space, architecture and mood as a way to tell a story or represent the sensations given by the location itself.
