VJ Emiko/ Emiko Okime / Emilia Gumańska - Warsaw based visual artist, cinematographer, video director and VJ. She creates a variety of video forms – music videos, teasers for art galleries and theatres, theatrical performances and fashion videos as well as video art. She always tries to capture the specific magic on the set, which is generated by the interaction between the camera operator and the person being filmed. She attaches great importance to storytelling by using light, colors, scenography and styling.
The winner of VJ Torna Championship 2011 during Live Performers Meeting Mińsk edition, Pre-production and VJ Battle Category in Mexico City 2013 .
Vj and a/v sets are based on various video projects of her own authorship.
She experiments with light, self made scenography elements and stylisation.
The visual character of her productions is very minimalistic and pure. Visual message is strongly connected to emotional states of human being.
Projects by VJ Emiko, connecting body motives and its movement with graphical analog elements in a rank of symbols, belong to the category of experimental video art. By expressing the emotional states of a human – the vessel, they create audiovisual show, which in connection with music enhances the inner feelings of the spectator.
During the process of creation she uses video, photos and animations based on her own video scenarios, styling, and hand-made elements of stage decoration. Paying great attention to the shape and form of visualized form, she uses characteristic spatial structures, solids and installations of her own design. Minimalist images of a powerful emotional saturation effectively control the feelings of the viewer.
For one and a half year she regulary cooperated with Czwórka Polish Radio HDTV, creating real-time vj sets for music programs.
Emiko's vj and a/v projects accompany many of events in Europe and other continents.
