Blaise Kirschner (they/them) is an artist who primarily works in the moving image. Their video installations, medium and long-form films frequently reference histories from below and draw on popular genres, speculative fiction and postcinematic media to address how fantasies and fears about socio-political, technological, and ecological developments are encoded in cultural forms. Kirschner was the winner of the prestigious Jarman Award in 2011 and has participated in the Berlinale, the BFI London Film Festival and the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen amongst others, and their work has been widely screened and exhibited internationally. Their films are distributed by LUX and are also in the British Film Institute Artists’ Moving Image Collection, both London, and the Arsenal Institut für Film- und Videokunst, Berlin, as well as private collections. Blaise Kirschner is currently Professor in Moving Image at The Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.
