Nigel Gavus (*1992), is a filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist based in Vienna, Austria. He studied at the School for Independent Film – Friedl Kubelka and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. In his filmic work he deals with time, memory, identity and the relationship between poetry and cinema. The fundament for his other artistic practices are based on the medium of photography, which he often combines with mixed media – like found materials, embroidery and the experimentation of printing. The performativity of daily life, coincidences, as well as collaborations with other artists play a major role in the process of his creation. All works have a diary-like approach, each of it as a building block for the next, generating a personal and interconnected oeuvre. His work has been shown at national and international film festivals and institutions, including Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, EuroAsia Short Film Festival Washington, Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival, Diagonale – Festival for Austrian Film, Vienna Shorts Film Festival, Mumok, Halle für Kunst Steiermark & Neue Galerie Graz.
