About

Gonzalo H. Rodríguez is a media artist, filmmaker, and researcher. He was born in Lima, Peru, and is now based in Berlin, Germany.

In his films, installations, performances, musical experiments, and visual stages, Rodríguez explores narrative forms that determine the perception of subjective and objective narration and thus also reflect on the relationship between reality and fiction. He uses various forms of narrativisation as processes inherent to the artistic media practice. In his research, he deals with various subjects against the backdrop of artistic figuration, radical fiction, and the possibilities of technology to mediate multiplicity.

Rodríguez studied fine arts at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador and design at the Community College of the Universidad San Francisco de Quito. In Germany, he completed his master’s studies in audiovisual media and media art at the Academy of Media Arts of Cologne is currently pursuing a scientific and artistic Ph.D. at the Konrad Wolf Film University of Babelsberg in Potsdam.
