An enchanting mix of drawing, animation, puppetry, projection and paper, 2 Dimensional Life of Her is a richly imagined performance installation set in an artist's studio. Fleur Elise Noble creates a parallel world in which everything thought to be flat becomes something else. In this illusionary, captivating and cheeky work, visual tensions build and realities pile up until the artist loses control of her creations and absolutely anything becomes possible...
Fleur Elise Noble works with various visual art mediums and performance to create work that is specifically focused on the performative possibilities of drawing and process. Her work has been exhibited in established and makeshift gallery and theatre spaces around Australia and overseas, and included in major international arts festivals.

"Brilliant, provocative...stunning." -- The Herald, Scotland

"Noble not only deconstructs her art, she shreds, incinerates and rebuilds it, milking the full potential of today's multimedia technology like an Andy Warhol for a new era." -- The Adelaide Advertiser

"A performative screen work par excellence...witty, technically deft and engrossing." -- Real Time

Winner of the 2010 Greenroom Award for Video Design and Best in Show at the Brisbane Festival, 2 Dimensional Life of Her is 90% visual and suitable for ages 8 and above.
