About the Artist
Working with and across text, song, sculpture, film, animation and performance, Hilary Koob-Sassen creates systems in which these diverse approaches work together to reflect and address the current bio-economic situation through which we are formed as social, physical and political subjects.
Hilary Koob-Sassen's work has been exhibited widely at film festivals and galleries internationally, including: Athens Biennial (2009); Transmediale Festival, Berlin (2009); European Media Art Festival (EMAF), Osnabruecken (2006); Beijing Film Academy (2009); Sketch Gallery, London (2009); Serpentine Gallery, London (2008); and BFI Southbank and South London Gallery, London (2007). His recent project Faith In Infrastructure took form as a manifesto, six sculptures, six songs, a variety of performances and a 30 minute film, which together populated and navigated a model of biological life in time.
