Robert DARROLL

Nationality: English

For over 25 years, Robert Darroll has been working in the field of experimental animation. After having studied Fine Arts at the Michaelis School of Art in Cape Town, Robert Darroll turned to experimental film and abstract animation, and has been working with digital technology in this field since 1990.

One of the important sources of inspiration for his abstract works, which have often been created in close collaboration with international composers, were visual impressions gathered during his stays abroad, as for example, in Asia. One of the main topics of Darroll's work was the discussion of the construction of reality and meaning in global media society.

Since 2001, Robert Darroll has been living in Japan, where he was a professor at the Tokyo National University of Fine Art and Music (2001-2002) and the Nagoya University of Arts and Sciences (2003-2014). Darroll's works have been presented worldwide at major museums and in the scope of numerous media art and music festivals [including the Netherlands Film Museum, Amsterdam; the American Film Institute, Los Angeles; the ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe; the ISCM World Music Festival, Seoul; Rencontres Internationales Art Cinema, Paris; VIDEOEX, Zurich; the Pacific Film Archives, Berkeley, CA; the Tokyo National University Museum, Tokyo].
