Kerstin Honeit

Kerstin Honeit is an artist working with experimental documentary moving image formats. She lives in Berlin, where she studied visual arts and stage design at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule. In her film works she researches the mechanisms of representation in the production of hegemonic image worlds, in connection with cultural as well as linguistic modes of translation, especially in the cinematographic context. The focus here is on the politics of the (film) voice and especially on how voice as a queering event within moving images can unsettle the gaze regimes of dominant culture. Against the background of Honeit’s artistic practice, the publication Kerstin Honeit. Voice Works / Voice Strikes (ed. McGovern) has just been published by b_books. Honeit has taught at various art academies and is currently sharing the professorship for spatial concepts at the HBK Braunschweig with Candice Breitz. Her work is regularly presented at international film festivals and in exhibitions such as: Whitechapel Gallery, London; Hammer Museum, LA; CAC, Quito;  Fajr International Film Festival, Tehran;  n.b.k., Berlin; Off Biennale Cairo; Videoart at Midnight, Berlin; MMOMA - D’EST, Moscow; Schwules Museum, Berlin; HKW, Berlin; International Short Film Fest, Oberhausen; Berlinische Galerie, Berlin; Gallery 400, Chicago; Arsenal - Institute for Film and Video Art, Berlin; MIX, New York.
