BIOGRAPHIE

CÉSAR MENEGHETTI is an Italian-Brazilian filmmaker and visual artist based in Berlin. His work is centred on social issues, migration and the concept of borders, political, social and individual edges, the interaction with people and media between the North and South hemisphere. He uses the cinema medium as well as film, video, photography, painting and installation in art to give images a new approach to the world. Through the mix of various technical supports he uses these electronic/digital instruments to extract and isolate frames of reality and re-elaborate them in a new context. He has shown his art work in more than 40 countries around the world and has made about 60 films and videos including 2 feature films, 5 documentaries, 53 short films and experimental videos. In the last 23 years he had received 59 awards, prizes and scholarships for his work, among them FUNARTE Contemporary Art Prize 2011, Biennial of São Paulo special award for Brazilian contemporary art (2010), best video at the IV Inter-American Biennial of Video Art in Washington (2009), Italian Silver Ribbon 1996 and 2004 (SNCCI) and Petrobrás Cultural Prize, Brazil (2002 and 2006). . In 2007, a new phase of his career started with K_LAB - INTERACTING ON THE REALITY INTERFACE (Mixed Media, Niger, 2007-2008) when his research embraced the visual arts, cinema and mixed media along with relational art, followed by the projects THIS_ORIENT (Mixed Media, Vietnam HK, 2006-2011) and I\O _IO È UN ALTRO (mixed media/relational, Italy, 2010-2013) with 200 mental and physical disabled people of the Santo Egidio’s Community art labs, invited work for the 55th Venice Biennale.
