Oona Taper
Assistant Professor of Animation
Oona Taper creates short films, installations, and animations that are invested in the materiality of moving images to create tactile and embodied experiences for the viewer. Her work responds to current and historical events with whimsy and daydreams to contend with the constant mundane apocalypses of the modern world.
Her short films have been screened at national and international film festivals including Interface Video Festival in Zagreb, Sydney World Film Festival, and VIDEOEX-Experimental Film & Video Festival in Zurich. Her work has also shown in galleries such as Stop Gap Project Space in Columbia MO, the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, and Calm and Punk Gallery in Tokyo.
