LIGHT CONE (SCRATCH PROJECTION) KIBONUMWE / METEORITE I |
Simon Rittmeier is an artist and filmmaker. His works, both experimental and essayistic, explore the power of moving images and their political impact.
From Havana to Tel Aviv and on to Ouagadougou his films fluctuate between documentary and fiction. They are always the result of a strong bond with unique stories and places. By deploying new frameworks, he questions social conventions and hegemonic narration forms.
Festivals and exhibitions include, among others, Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Visions du Reel, Nyon, and The Studio Museum Harlem, New York.
In 2009 he received the First Prize of the NRW Competition at the Oberhausen Film Festival for A TASTE OF HONEY, that was developed during a residency in Havana, Cuba. His diploma DREXCIYA (2012) was selected for numerous festivals and exhibitions. Together with Sam Hopkins he developed the artist book LETTER TO LAGAT, that was published 2015 and that is part of an ongoing investigation about cultural property.
He currently works and lives in Paris.
