Hannah Subotnick

Hannah Subotnick (1992) was born in a blizzard during a lunar eclipse. She is an animator, filmmaker, and photographer. These channels allow her to transform the physical into the ephemeral—the body is transformed into energy, sound becomes vapor, and forms are abstracted and untethered. Loss, seclusion, and intimacy figure prominently in her work. She lives and works in New England where the landscape and the sea are constant sources of inspiration.

Hannah has been an artist in residence at Yaddo and has been awarded grants from the Rhode Island School of Design, Brown University, Stanford University, and the Rhode Island State Council for the Arts. Her films have been screened internationally.

Hannah is a current Fulbright Research Fellow to the Netherlands in Photography.

Hannah has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design, Stanford University and the University of Rhode Island. She is currently a guest researcher at the University of Groningen (NL) in Philosophy.

She holds an MFA from Stanford University in Art Practice (2020), a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Film/Animation/Video (2016), and a BA from Brown University in Modern Culture and Media (2016.)
