Deborah Mora (orah) collects, creates and manipulates images as a way to enact non-verbal storytelling. As a audiovisual artist, designer and narrator, she approaches visual materialities to carve the openings for experiences. Her practice is weaved in multidisciplinary collaborations and explorations with sound and movement artists, visual experimentations that expand and diversify through the music, the rhythms, the space, the movement and the body. She’s interested in how sound and image both can produce stories and convey meaning, carry tactile qualities, and produce physical sensations. Her research dives into individual and collective perception, and touches upon different thematics that are present in our visual and music culture, but also our daily experiences and relationships with our environment.
These explorations are embodied in live audiovisual (AV) performances and immersive installations.
Deborah has presented work and performed at festivals such as FIBER (Amsterdam), Balance Club Culture (Leipzig), GOLF (Haarlem), FAKE ME HARD (Rotterdam).
As a designer, she specialises in graphic, moving image, 3D, video editing, art direction, collaborating with labels and music festivals such as Elicit (Rotterdam/London), Minimal Collective (Amsterdam), Patterns of Perception (Berlin), Siamese Twins Records (Bangkok), Monument (Oslo), DGTL festival (Amsterdam).
