Rose Lowder (Lima 1941) is a French-Peruvian artist and filmmaker. In focussing her research on visual perception in relation to the cinematographic means of expression, Lowder concentrates on the different ways one can modify the graphic and photographic visual features of the image as it transforms in time. This work led her to compose the image in the camera, usually by interweaving the frames as the film strip passes the lens several times.
