Brigitte Fässler | Media Artist & Director


Brigitte Fässler is an interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker operating at the intersection of digital technology, spatial staging, and performance. Her practice explores the emergence of hybrid identities by blurring the lines between physical presence and virtual expansion. Through her video works and immersive installations, she challenges the viewer's perception of reality.

A recipient of the Basel Media Art Prize and the Basel Film Prize. Her projects have gained international recognition at prestigious venues, including the Aesthetica Short Film Festival (UK), exground filmfest (DE), and the Hong Kong Arthouse Film
Festival (CHN).
