Research interests
Lily Frances is a practice-based PhD researcher, focussing on works by Belgian film director and artist Chantal Akerman.
Lily’s thesis explores Akerman’s use of sound across her oeuvre, with a particular focus on background noise, the body, and listening in her films made between 1974-2000. An artist and poet working across video, sound, oil painting and poetry, Lily’s practice-based work considers intimate memory and the resonance of certain images, objects, and atmospheres.
Lily's research is funded by the South West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership.
