Christian Diaz Orejarena
Christian Diaz Orejarena studied conceptual and media art in Berlin and Vienna. He works on research-based and interdisciplinary projects, which often arise in a collective context. In his artistic work, he tells self-deprecating and personal stories about his post-migrant biography and uses them to construct a docu-fictional view of the socio-political, economic, and aesthetic connections between Colombia and Germany. Confronted with his own madness, he holds up a mirror to society through his artistic practice and brings drawings, videos, and actions back to life that tell of nonconformist things, resistant people, and anti-colonial dream creatures. Since collaborating with the action group rampe:collective, he has also motivated others to fight for an undisciplined world through drawing, film, and poetry.
