Katia Roessel

Katia Roessel is currently developing her first feature film in France. Her work has been shown in festivals, galleries, collective projects and open-air events such as POINT IN THE ENDLESS UNIVERSE, Moscow (2014), Galerie Arnaud Lefebvre, Paris (2011), AVIFF Cannes (2014), OCAT Shanghai (2014), Collection VIDEO SALON, Galerija Duplex 100m2, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (2016), and PARISARTISTES # (2017) among others. Her GLEE video series focuses on the fundamental technology of artificial light and the evolving dominance of screen-based light and its implications. Natural light, screen light, and filmed light intertwine. Since within the installations different temporalities emerge and shun into another frame/art scale – the light of the screen has brought us ever more realistic simulations, including simulations of intelligence and of life, and draws us into its reality. This reality and natural reality are in an escalating competition for our “hearts and minds.”
