Vanessa Cardui, born in 1987, is a video artist from Berlin. She completed her master’s degree in art and media at the University of Hildesheim and the Universit\u00e9 de Provence. Vanessa Cardui creates imaginative worlds out of paper, which she brings to life with stop-motion animations. With her video installations, she makes art tangible in urban spaces. She addresses the topics of environmental protection and sustainability and questions what it means to be human and to be a woman in times of change. Her video works are exhibited internationally, including at the Digital Graffiti Festival in Florida (2024), Animation Nights New York \u2013 ANNY (2024), Festival of Lights Berlin (2024, 2023), Festival of Science \u2013 Goethe Institute Bangkok (2023), The Future Vision Festival in Tokyo and Amsterdam (2023), Athens Digital Art Festival (2022), Venice Architecture Film Festival (2021), European Film Festival G\u00f6ttingen (2021), and the international festival for audiovisual projection Genius Loci Weimar (2021).<\/p>\n<\/div> \n \n \n <\/svg>\n Website <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Wonderland<\/p>\n

\u201cWonderland\u201d transforms Berlin’s television tower into a moving fantasy world. It all starts with a moment of chance \u2013 a glass of brush water tips over and sets off a surreal chain reaction. Colors run, lines blur, drawings begin to take on a life of their own.<\/p>\n

The artist herself takes center stage: she breaks through the boundary between drawing and reality, immerses herself in her own images, encounters them, wrestles with them \u2013 and allows them to inspire and enrich her, carrying her away to distant worlds. A minor mishap gives rise to a dream world in which art, emotion, and imagination intertwine.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
