Berlin Guest Artists

Anna Zett
Anna Zett is an artist, writer, director of films and radio plays. Working alone and in teams, Zett combines historical research and analysis with a performative practice rooted in the undetermined, present situation. Her often dialogical or interactive work tends to center around well-known symbols from modernist, capitalist or scientific memory, opening up their political and emotional association patterns. In 2014 she published her first two longer videos, both dealing with the dinosaur as an imperial emblem, which were screened internationally in museums, galleries, festivals and universities. Since then her approach partly disengaged with the technological apparatus of image production, focussing more on rhythm, sound and the moving body’s capacity to entangle verbal and non-verbal language. In recent years Zett has written and directed two experimental radio dramas for the German public radio, and (co-)hosted various participatory formats between installation, story telling and choreography. Anna Zett grew up in Leipzig and lives in Berlin.

Sarah Ancelle Schönfeld
The work of Sarah Ancelle Schönfeld jestingly deals with spiritual and scientific
imagination. It reflects on different kinds of knowledge-, control- and truth-production,
constituting and reproducing the human “self” in the world. Her method is an appropriation and recomposing of concepts. In order to create new meanings and perspectives, common structures are sliced up, analysed and put back together in a different way, using oracular technics and alchemical experiments. She includes approaches from various fields in her practice, like natural science, religion, archeology, mythology, magic and technology. The work includes a wide range of mediums like photography, print, sculpture, installation and performance.

PPKK (Schönfeld & Scoufaras)
PPKK is a casual nomadic lab founded in Berlin 2016 by Sarah Ancelle Schönfeld and Louis-Philippe Scoufaras, in the pursuit of analyzing and reflecting upon specific (local) contexts, generating mythological, technological and trickster outputs in order to shift perspectives and enable fruitful new interpretations.

Lior Shamriz
Shamriz studied film at the Jerusalem Film School from 2002 until being expelled in 2004. He later studied Experimental Media Design at the Institute for Time Based Media with Heinz Emigholz, at UdK, Berlin. His feature Japan Japan (2006-2007), produced independently with a micro-budget, was presented at about fifty international film festivals, among them the Locarno International Film Festival, the Sarajevo Film Festival, MoMA’s New Directors/New Films Festival, and Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema. His debut full-length Saturn Returns (2009) premiered opening Torino Film Festival’s Onde, was nominated for the Max Ophüls Preis at the film festival in Saarbrücken, Germany and co-won the New Berlin Award at Achtung Berlin film festival. Return Return (2010), a non-narrative video based on clips from Saturn Returns, premiered at the 60th Berlin Film Festival’s Forum Expanded, where his feature films The Runaway Troupe of the Cartesian Theater premiered in 2013 at the 63rd edition of the festival, and Cancelled Faces at the 65th. In a 2012 review, Dimitri Eipides from the Thessaloniki International Film Festival noted that Shamriz “develops his own écriture, experimenting with form, deconstructing narratives and reconstructing their pieces into something unique, which bears his own personal trademark”. In 2013 his film Beyond Love And Companionship received the 3sat Förderpreis from the German competition at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen. In 2014 his film L’amour sauvage received an Honorable Mention in the German competition at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen. In 2015 his video The Cultural Attaché/Tornado for the band Kreidler won the 2nd prize in the 17th MuVi Award competition – 2014 he had started the collaboration with the band accompanying their album ABC with 6 video clips.

Juárez Artists

Roberto Cárdenas 
Roberto Cárdenas. Nace en la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos, el sexto día del sexto mes del año ochenta y seis. Hijo de un inmigrante ilegal y una madre maquiladora, crece en un barrio viendo como su ciudad se degradaba a base de crack y heroína, sonorizado con acordes entremezclados de Tupac y los Tigres del Norte. A muy temprana edad descubre que su nacimiento fue accidental, como el de todos sus hermanos, y con solo 5 años fracasa en el intento de asfixiar a su hermana mayor. A los 8 años tiene su primera y única mascota, un gallo al que mata sujetándolo una soga al pescuezo, enterrando el cuerpo en el jardín de su casa. Después de la muerte de su padre, su madre convierte su hogar en un refugio de inmigrantes a los que roba joyas y perversas artimañas de supervivencia. Actualmente vive en la misma casa donde nació, hasta que la nostalgia o el aburrimiento, exijan un nuevo destino. robertocardenas.net
