20—25 SEPTEMBER 2026
WITH DEBORAH STRATMAN
About Deborah Stratman
Deborah Stratman is a Chicago-based filmmaker who has been active since the 1990s. A multidisciplinary artist, she has directed nearly forty works that question social codes using unconventional cinematic devices. She reflects transversally on history, mythology, science, technology, and security and surveillance mechanisms.
Between documentary essay and experimental cinema, Stratman’s films present dense research and function through free association. The result is poetic and free-flowing works that are not without a systematic political relationship to reality.
Deborah Stratman’s work has been presented internationally at prestigious venues such as the Whitney Biennial, MOMA, and the Centre Georges-Pompidou. Her films have also been widely screened at most major international festivals. She is currently an associate professor at the School of Art & Art History at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
