— Lisa Spilliaert

Lisa Spilliaert (b. 1990, Tokyo) lives and works in Ghent, Belgium.

 

Spilliaert's fascination with genealogy and the ongoing interplay between her cultural backgrounds are central themes in her autobiographically inspired work. Before turning to film, she trained as a photographer at the KASK School of Arts in Ghent, where she developed the visual sensibility that would later inform her cinematic practice.

​​​​

Spilliaert's films have been showcased at various film festivals, including the Image Forum Festival, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, FID Marseille, Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival,  Courtisane Festival, Art Cinema OFFoff, and Beursschouwburg.

Lisa's film SPILLIAERT is included in the collection of the Flemish Community at Mu.ZEE (Oostende, BE).

​

Lisa Spilliaert is an artist whose artistic practice makes use of photography, film and video art and is distinguished by often radical choices in terms of content and form, which are always executed with extreme consistency.

 

Lisa Spilliaert joined the collective of artists of the organisation Escautville vzw in 2022.
