Arjuna Neuman

Arjuna Neuman

An artist, filmmaker, and writer, Arjuna Neuman‘s films and installations have been shown internationally.

As a writer, Neuman shifts between the bodily, haptic, and affective through to the geopolitical and cosmological. He approaches the essay form through a multiperspectival and mobile approach, in which the text is inherently future-oriented and experimental, becoming the guiding principle for research and production.

In collaboration with the philosopher Denise Ferreira da Silva, Neuman has created the films Serpent Rain (2016), 4 Waters-Deep Implicancy (2018), and Soot Breath // Corpus Infinitum (2020), which have been exhibited at major art venues including Centre Pompidou, Whitechapel Gallery, the 56th Biennale di Venezia, and Haus der Kulturen der Welt. In 2023, they presented an ensemble of cinematic pieces at MACBA, and premiered their new film, Ancestral Clouds, Ancestral Claims, at Kunsthalle Wien.
