Madison Brookshire lives in Los Angeles, where he makes films, paintings, and performances. His work invites viewers to become aware of perceptual processes and the sensuous experience of time. Through his work, he hopes to get closer to living. Moving between experimental film, music, and art, he often works at the edges of disciplines, frequently collaborating with musicians and composers, including Ezra Buchla, LCollective, Laura Steenberge, Mark So, and Tashi Wada. His awards include being named a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts, an ARC grant from the Center for Cultural Innovation, a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant, and being an Artist in Residence at the Echo Park Film Center and the Hammer Museum.
