Bio
New Zealand video artist SJ.Ramir resides in Melbourne, Australia. Much of his recent work explores the connection between the physical, external landscape and the internal landscape that resides within the mind. Using visual distortion as a tool, his work examines the journeys that we make as we move between the two.
