JOSIANE M.H. POZI

Early Years

Josiane M.H. Pozi was born in London in 1998 and by the time she gained her BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, her work had already featured in a solo exhibition in New York City. Growing up in an on-screen world, her artistic practice presents a first-person perspective on ordinary situations.

Josiane M.H. Pozi: Artworks

Speaking in 2021, Pozi described her approach to making videos as “the most selfish thing”, capturing emotion in a limited timeframe rather than creating a moving image in a particular style. Referencing the concept that capitalism encourages people to abandon their own personal creativity in favour of maintaining financial and social capital, she explained that she considered success to be the opportunity to create her own ideas.

• Pozi’s 2019 video Pingey switches between scenes of home life—including her on the sofa alongside her father (both smoking), as she sing David Bowie’s Life on Mars (1971)—and being at college, contrasting interactions with students with what initially seems to be domestic peace. (Incidentally, Pingey is a sadly deceased pot plant.)
• In the 2025 exhibition United Kingdom London, Portrait OAYG, Pozi displayed five videos of still lifes of a domestic space alongside two abstract oil paintings, Me from Above (2025) and Me in My Room (2025). The poster for the exhibition was a “paint by numbers” version of her own face
• In Pursuit of Feeling (2026) at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City re-presented some of her videos in new formats, including scaled-down versions of living-room furniture supporting iPhones playing Pingey (2019).
