Mara Schwerdtfeger
“Absorbed Terrain”
Mara Schwerdtfeger is a composer and curator based in Eora/Sydney. She plays the viola and collaborates with her laptop to create live performances and recorded pieces for film, dance, and installations. Informed by interactions and perspectives within environments, her work questions the coexistence and understanding between those who inhabit them. Her current work is concerned with language, listening, and architectural bodies and environments. These larger concepts have found a focus in vibrations and seismic energy within the Earth.
In 2019, she graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Design (Digital Media) before attending LungA School (Seyisfjorour, (Iceland) in early 2020. As a curator, Mara has presented exhibitions at Blindside, Darren Knight Gallery, and Shetter Gallery and works collaboratively with Zoe Baumgartner as Temporary Position. Mara is currently an audio producer at the Powerhouse Museum.
