Arna Beth (b. 1997) is an Icelandic / American
multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker based in London. Working with the assemblage of digital media, speculative futures, and cultural critique of the postmodern. Her practice spans 3D fabrication such as sculpture and animation, performance, sound, and recombinant material processes.
Through frameworks of critical theory kin to xenofeminism, dromology and necropolitics, Arna constructs immersive, non-linear narratives, attempting to destabilize a dromocratic present.
Self-composed sound,
fabrication, and embodied performance mark an evolution toward more immersive, bodydriven work. Collaborations with curators and technologists continue to refine her spatial and political praxis, weaponizing aesthetics against the systems they mirror.
She has performed and exhibited at:
