Lisa Truttman

Lisa Truttmann (born 1983) is an artist and filmmaker based in Vienna. In her practice, she combines documentary, essayistic, and poetic methods to investigate the sociologies and ecologies of landscapes and architectures. She is interested in relationships between human and non-human agents as well as in their spaces of interaction. Truttmann understands her subjective view as an approximation and considers her artistic process as an attempt to playfully comprehend complex systems. Associatively she intertwines collected material in image, sound and text as well as objects in installations and rhythmic montages. Oscillating between cinema and exhibition space, her works always reflect the language of their medium. Lisa Truttmann studied Transmedia Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and Film/Video at the California Institute of the Arts, where she made her first essayistic feature film Tarpaulins (2017). Her films and installations have been shown internationally at film festivals and exhibitions, including Edinburgh IFF, CPH:DOX Copenhagen, New York FF, Images Festival Toronto, Ann Arbor FF, Bertha DocHouse London, Alianza Francesa Buenos Aires, Viennale, Diagonale, Kunsthalle Wien, KHM Wien, MAK Wien, and Kunstsammlung NRW. https://lisatruttmann.at
