Alfie Dwyer

Alfie Dwyer is an interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture, digital media, animation, and film. His practice explores the human body, non-physical space, and perception through dreamlike moving-image works and sculptural forms. His work is characterised by a distinctive animated language that produces dense, illusory compositions reflecting on the nature of reality and how space and time are perceived. Alongside exhibiting and screening internationally, he frequently collaborates with musicians, contributing digital and live-video works for performances, tours, and online contexts.​“Light in Darkness” is a one-minute animated journey through a sequence of dreamlike worlds that emerge and dissolve in a single continuous motion, following the drifting logic of consciousness and memory. The camera slips fluidly between unstable, fragmentary environments—ancient yet synthetic, magical yet computational—where cobbled floors, saints, salamanders, crystalline formations, fleeting grasslands, and strange living creatures coexist within an illusory, ever-unfolding terrain. Developed during a period of deep introspection, the work began as a personal navigation through metaphorical darkness, and its looping structure suggests a cyclical process of descent, encounter, and renewal. Rather than depicting a fixed universe, Light in Darkness proposes worldbuilding as a relational and emotional act, inviting the viewer to inhabit uncertainty, confront inner mythologies, and imagine the possibility of emergence and transformation.
