Berlin-based Clemens von Wedemeyer is Europe's most acclaimed young
conceptual filmmaker. His work investigates the nature of film and its
relationship with language and reality. Von Wedemeyer's work has been shown
at P.S.1, MoMA, the Moscow Biennale and many other venues. During his
residency at UCSB, von Wedemeyer will shoot a film with a team made up of
UCSB students. We will celebrate his stay at UCSB with a series of artist
talks under the title “Video After Video in the Post-Media Age.” For a
