| Short Bio: |
Iris Piers uses a small digital camera, a magnifying glass, pen, paper, voice and various instruments to create small pieces of everyday surrealism on her laptop. By compressing the specific repetitive and time related playground that she considers as everyday life into a compact and often very short form, she hopes to show a fragment of a dream or a thought. A small moment in the mind that comes out of nowhere..
Iris Piers, born in 1983, is a Dutch video art maker who has been performing Live Cinema sets since early 2005. Starting off at Le Placard (Club Transmediale) in Berlin together with Kristofer Strom (Ljudbilden&Piloten), she set off on a long road of (solo) performances in Tokyo, Berlin, New York, Prague and Stockholm. She has been collaborating with artists such as Ljudbilden & Piloten, Christopher Willits, Aus, Play Paul, Mi & Lau, Erik Levander, Christl Mudrak and Katharina Grosse. Iris has also been active as an experimental filmmaker since 2004. She studied Fine Arts in Berlin, Rotterdam and New York City and has had exhibitions in many places around the world, for example at various US art fairs, in the Berkeley Art Museum in California and LMAK Projects in New York. In 2007, Iris was honoured to win the award for Best Online Film at the national Dutch Film Festival, and has been asked to return this year, as a member of the jury. From 2007 her work has been distributed by Holland Film (Amsterdam). Her main focus is 2008/2009 is developing her films into video installations.
