VERTIGO. VIDEO SCENARIOS OF RAPID CHANGES

Simon Dybbroe Møller was born in Aarhus, Denmark (1976), and he lives and work in Copenhagen, Denmark.
He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and at Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main.

Simon Dybbroe Møller’s practice tests the relationship between essential sensate qualities and the evolution of communication; how it feels to be bodies tumbling or stumbling through this world; how we change media and how media changes us. His work often concerns the materiality and physicality of things against the backdrop of ubiquitous representations in the media. He has had solo exhibitions at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2024), Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius (2018), Kunsthalle Sao Paulo (2016), 21 er Haus in Vienna (2015), Fondazione Giuliani in Rome (2011), Kunstverein Hannover (2009) and Frankfurter Kunstverein (2009), among others.

Born in 1971 in Istanbul, Turkey, Ali Kazma is a lens-based media artist living and working in Istanbul and Paris.

He has a master of arts degree from the New School in New York City.

Questioning social organization and the value of human activity, he highlights the relationship between the visible and the invisible aspects of reality by looking closely at the management of labour, time, bodies, gestures, space and processes. Kazma’s attentive eye collects specific activities in a broad range of economic, industrial, scientific, medical, social and artistic spheres.

He has an interest in spaces of social significance, places of production, in industries and handicraft, as well as in the details of machinery and ritualistic, repetitive daily tasks.
