Rachel Reupke
Staff details
Rachel Reupke is an artist working with film and animation.
I make films using a broad range of techniques including live-action drama, digital and stop-frame animation, nature photography and AI. An ongoing interest in imaging technologies, and visualisations of subjects unseeable by the naked eye, informs many of my aesthetic choices.
My scripts often refer to codes of behaviour as disseminated through language. I am interested in how societal value systems are reinforced through formal, instructional, or diagnostic texts, such as tests for ADHD in my film Questionnaire (2021), sample complaint letters in Letter of Complaint (2015) and cataloguing terms for photo libraries in 10 Seconds or Greater (2010).
Over 20 years my films have been screened in galleries and museums around the world, including Centre Pompidou, Paris; Tate Modern and Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; MuMOK, Vienna and Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing.
My films are distributed by LUX (https://lux.org.uk)
