TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
Sam Wiggin
Sam Wiggin is a Sound and Visual artist based in Norfolk. Upon finishing his BA, Sam continued expanding the analogue practices he’d developed as a photographer and has transitioned into creating moving-image works. Sam is particularly interested in explorations of ‘memory’, and its relationship with the objects and environments that often hold its traces. These themes are explored through the use of field recordings and abstract soundscapes to imbue his works with a haunting longing.
