Hannah Blissett’s main interests revolve around social politics and video. Particularly highlighting the way in which society and relationships function behind closed doors; in the privacy of the family home and in the domestic space. She uses the medium of video in order to convey a deeper story and thorough insight into her societal narrative and commentary on the individuals she chooses to video / interview. Hannah was born in Kent, England in 1996. She has lived in both France and Switzerland, receiving an international education from 9-12 years old. This has influenced her practice as her understanding of a wide range of ages and cultures means she is sincere when interviewing her subjects. She attended Westwood College from 13-18 years old, and went on to attend Falmouth University studying a BA (Hons) Photography degree. She graduated from Falmouth University in July 2017. Since graduation, her project 'Welcome Home Kevin' was exhibited in London, Exeter and Falmouth. It was shortlisted for the South West Graduate Photography Prize. After completing an artist residency in Bristol, Blissett is currently working as Graduate Intern at creative agency MAYN based in Falmouth, Cornwall. Education: BA (Hons) Photography.
