About
Il Sun Moon
Artist-Researcher exploring atmosphere, diaristic video, and installation
London, UK
Il Sun Moon is a London-based moving image artist whose work explores the poetics of dailiness, atmosphere and fragmented subjectivity. Rooted in experimental diary filmmaking, her practice draws on portable devices and non-linear montage to trace the subtle textures of everyday life. She recently completed a practice-based PhD in Film and Photography at Kingston University London, where her research examined diaristic image-making as a site of affective and perceptual transformation.
Her practice interrogates the tools and editing to question how they choreograph performative encounters with the image. Working with a diagrammatic methodology, she seeks to chart new maps of movement, extending beyond the screen towards potential spatial forms. Her films have been shown in the UK, often as multiscreen constellations, visual essays or visual diaries. Operating at the intersection of the personal and the spatial, the work attends to minor rhythms—light, breath, weather, footsteps—and to the atmospheric tensions that shape how we sense, move and inhabit the world.
