Lindsay Seers (b. 1966, England) is a British artist who studied Sculpture and Media at the Slade School of Fine Art and earned an MA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, University of London. She is known for her innovative use of photography and moving image to explore themes such as hallucination, gender politics, colonialism, and human consciousness. Seers’ practice intertwines personal biography with broader social and political narratives, challenging traditional storytelling through a conceptual approach to the act of photography and filmmaking.
