Biografia
Kailum is an emerging photomedia artist who works predominantly in the medium of photography and within the sphere of the photographic process, including large-scale video installations. He holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with majors in Art History and Philosophy from the University of Queensland, as well as a Diploma of Photography from the Southbank Institute of Technology. He obtained Honours in Art History with a dissertation focusing on what is ostensibly an ideological impossibility—the aesthetic response to the problem of effective resistance where resistance itself is commoditised into neutrality. Upon graduation he opted out of working in a dead-end office job, and instead took a menial job, working minimum hours on minimum wage, so he could focus on producing work. He has spent the last three years researching, experimenting, and creating a body of work. He was a finalist in the Incinerator Art Award in 2015.
