Arlo Mountford is an artist best known for large-scale installations combining sound, video, and digital animation. Working across animated films, object-based work, drawings, photography and digital image making he creates complex, multi-layered narratives that traverse art history, weaving together iconic artists, landmark artworks, and key historical moments alongside pop culture references.
