ANAMNESIS
presented by Bloodbath Studio
ANAMNESIS, is an immersive gallery experience exploring photographic archives, sensory-rich film, and handmade garments by local independent designers. The exhibition guides viewers through three years of Bloodbath Studio fashion and film productions. Anamnesis—meaning the act of remembering —invites audiences into the subconscious pulse of ritual, memory, and identity. The gallery is the studio’s most ambitious environment yet, merging interactive media, projection-scapes, tactile couture displays, and story-driven installation design to embody some core tenants of the studio: visibility is sacred, memory is a portal, and creation is a ritual. The exhibition is a co-authored environment: spearheaded by visual artist Maia Vollbrecht leading the visual art curation and Bloodbath founder and filmmaker Hannah Varnell guiding the opening experience and cinematic narrative of the gallery. Navarr Gonzales aka FLAMER supports the fashion dimension, producer Alexandra Sleeping employs local resource stewardship, and Bolm Arts Collective provides essential production support.
Exhibiting Artists:
The gallery features original film work by Varnell alongside garments produced by Bloodbath co-creators and independent couture designers FLAMER, Benjamin Medina, and DASHE. Media artists represented include cinematographers Angela Herr, Joey Hunt, and Andrew Barrera, producer/cinematographer Ivy Wei Chiu, founder of filmmaking collective 24 Cobras, indie-pioneer and photographer Ima Leupp, and documentary photographers Arthur Moss and Brittany NO FOMO - to name a few.
Live cinematography documenting designer creations provided by MJ Johnson of Salt Productions, director and indie-film luminary Michael Zumaya, and steadicam artist Matthew McCloskey. Space curator Marta Elena Cortez-Neavel of Futurkind studio provides curated spaces for connection.

![BOLM PRESENTS… HOPE HUMMINGBIRD 🙌
“[I used] the streets of Philadelphia as a way to spread hope and positivity throughout the community. My journey started with creating simple hummingbird tiles, which symbolized resilience—a reflection of both personal and collective strength. Over time, this initial concept evolved into a broader series of portraits featuring historical figures who inspire me with their stories of courage and perseverance. More recently, I’ve shifted my focus to celebrate the vibrant artistic community in Austin by creating portraits of local artists and musicians, showcasing their contributions and the hope they bring to our world.”
