(she/her) audiovisual artist and designer.
as a designer, she specialises in graphic design and art direction in the field of music, performance art and the cultural sector. she is also active as a visual maker and live visual operator (VJ) for clubs, stages and music festivals.
in her audiovisual practice, deborah (aka dheba, previously orah) researches, collects, manipulates, and embodies visual materialities, weaving them with sonic storytelling as a way to navigate different spaces, bodies, stories and temporalities.
her research explores hybridity, non-linearity, distortions, the residual, the unseen.
she considers her practice a process of exchanges, so her work is often involved in multidisciplinary collaborations. these materialise in live audiovisual (AV) performances and immersive installations.
deborah has presented work and performed at festivals such as FIBER (Amsterdam, NL), Klankvorm (Rotterdam, NL), ADE (Amsterdam, NL), Balance Club Culture (Leipzig, DE), DOUR (Dour, BE), STOOR x Kappa (Torino, IT).
