Aindreas Scholz
In residence: July - August 2026
Aindreas Scholz is a German-Irish photographer based in London, working with cameraless and ecological photographic processes. His practice focuses on climate-adapted image-making that collaborates with sunlight, water chemistry, and plant matter, inviting rain, seawater, salinity, and disturbed soils to physically imprint the photographic surface. His works sit between aesthetics and evidence — photographs that function as material traces of place, contamination, and environmental vulnerability.

Lina Machida
In Residence: November 2026 - January 2027
Lina Machida is an artist based in Tokyo working with moving images, animation, drawing, and spatial installation. Her practice explores subtle bodily responses that arise through contact with environment, time, and others—particularly moments of hesitation, delay, or loss of control. She is interested in situations where the body does not respond as intended, such as illness, or hands numbed by cold, and how these states emerge through relationships rather than as purely personal conditions.
