Hi, I’m Rob.
I’m a multidisciplinary artist from Wrexham, working across performance, photography and film. My projects blur art and everyday life, often paired with documentaries that share the story behind the work.
Currently longlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize 2025, I’m always open to opportunities to exhibit and collaborate.
Diolch yn fawr ;)
YOU HAVE HALF A SECOND
TO IMPRESS ME
live show: music, film, movement
Developed in Wales, Croatia and USA from 2022-2025.
Supported by the Arts Council Wales Create Fund.
statement
“YOU HAVE HALF A SECOND TO IMPRESS ME is a live multimedia show, bringing together live music, choreography and film to tell a story about the effects of social media on young people, in a fresh and unexpected way.
Social media can expose somebody, but it can also help them to hide. Building on this idea, the show takes place entirely behind a screen, utilising rear-projection to place me (the performer) inside the film in silhouette, with creative captions to increase accessibility.
I perform music under the name 2080s and I consider this show - which contains 8 original electonic pop songs - the first 2080s live show. As well as performing, I wrote, directed and produced the show. Additionally I worked with Isolte Avila on the choreography, Seb Allemand on music production and Anastasia Ackers on the dramaturgy.
Across the development period I previewed the show in Wycombe Arts Centre, Brighton Fringe, Wrexfest, FOCUS Wales, Fairfield Halls and others - supported by Signdance Collective.
Then, thanks to support from Arts Council Wales, the production was completed across 2023-24 and the show is now set to tour in Winter 2025.
The first European performance took place in Ljubljana at the Ana Desetnica International Street Theatre Festival in 2025.“
