Raphaele Shirley is a French-American multimedia artist whose 25-year practice spans sculpture, light installation, video, photography, and performance. Since 2010, she has explored metaphysical and cosmological concepts, using the Ptolemaic model as a conceptual anchor to investigate how the universe might be represented across media. Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Queens Museum, Hermitage Museum, Moscow Biennale, and the Museum of the Moving Image. She has held residencies at Harvestworks and The Arctic Circle. In 2023, Shirley and longtime collaborator Algis Kizys received the Wave Farm Media Arts Grant to create 20F (Simultaneity), an immersive light and sound installation.
