Isabella Gresser is a visual artist living in Berlin. She studied with Marina Abramovic, Mara Mattuschka and Raimund Kummer, at HBK Braunschweig
and at the UdK Berlin as part of the Free Class. Her multilayered videos, in which distinctions between analog and digital
technologies are foregrounded, encompass found-footage, drawings and photographs combined with literature. Main subjects in recent
years have been Western and Eastern cultures, as well as sociology and philosophy referring to global tiredness and "Fatigue societies".
