Silvi simon

Silvi Simon is a filmmaker and contemporary artist. She is a member of Burstscratch, a non-profit group that organizes screenings and production workshops for creating handmade and experimental films and also manages an artist-run film laboratory in Strasbourg. She works in super-8 and 16mm, experimenting with non-standard shooting and chemical development techniques.

She is pursuing installation work, creating objects and machines that are always inspired by film projection, or more precisely, shadow and light, movement, optical illusion, magic and time.

Her work takes place over several phases of research and experimentation. In her installations, films are projected as loops using several projectors at once along a course of phantom screens of all sizes and shapes. Each installation is unique, built for and by the space in an attempt to imagine and other harmonious artistic interventions. The installations are modifiable in structure.
