Mia Forrest photographed by Mia Forrest in Byron Bay, Australia

Mia Forrest is an Australian photographer and filmmaker. Her film work explores poetic and surreal ways to expand time, particularly through her slow cinema short films, and slit scan moving images. Mia's work has exhibited internationally at the Cannes AVIFF Art Festival, Channels International Biennial of Video Art at the Australian Center for Moving Image, Queensland Film Festival, and Aesthetica Film Festival. The music videos she directed have been twice nominated for a Queensland Music Award. Her portraiture work was shortlisted for the 2021 Photo Collective Australian Photography Award in the Documentary Category. Mia has just released her first NFT collection, Bloom, a time-based motion project that features fleurs and fungi, warping to transcend space and time. As the plants transform and mutate over time, the spectacle showcases the history of species and proposes new cosmic futures.
