Her journey began in 1998 at the Free Academy in The Hague under the legendary Frans Zwartjes and video artist Marc van Bilderbeek, where she discovered the art of 16mm experimental cinema. This foundation led to a decade-long career as a freelance Avid editor where she developed her rhythmic precision and narrative sharpness.

Under the alias ShootingFootage, Pavelescu creates digital paintings that explore the boundary between the psyche and nature, seen in series like Mortal Blooms and Dreamcore Fashion. Her sonic identity is equally vital; performing as Stellaria Nemorum and former duo  wg@eet, she crafts industrial soundscapes and hypnotic dark beats rooted in the underground scenes of The Hague.

Today, Pavelescu focuses on two major cinematic projects exploring ‘The Soul of The Hague.’ Following the release of her visual essay Outerworldly (2026), she is currently developing Sonic Shadows—an exploration of the city’s experimental music underground—alongside a long-term dialogue with street photographer Tom Stappers.

Integrating the eye of an illustrator with the soul of a sound designer and the precision of an editor, Pavelescu’s work renders the invisible atmosphere visible, capturing the sensory energy that hums beneath the surface of the city and its landscapes.

THE VISION

I explore the invisible energy of my surroundings, peeling back the surface to reveal the deeper layers of things. My work lives where the industrial pulse of the city meets the psychological depth of the natural world. I am fascinated by the ‘uncanny’—those fleeting atmospheres and emotions that hum beneath the surface, perceived in our periphery but rarely seen clearly.

THE AESTHETIC

High-contrast, raw, and surreal. Whether through digital painting, 16mm film, or video, I treat every frame as a way to render the invisible atmosphere visible—capturing the sensory energy that hums beneath the surface.

THE PROCESS

The timeline is my canvas. My practice is a manual evolution of the frame, layering rhythm, atmosphere, and sound into a sensory whole.
