Kerstin Schroedinger works with long-term research-based projects at the intersection of analogue film, video, sound and performance. Her projects are strongly concerned with the social and political formations of time-based media in their historicity and their materiality. She is currently University Researcher at the University of the Arts Helsinki with Chromatic Noise: Mnemopolitics and Autochrome Witnesses, a practice-led research on the historicity and materiality of digital image production from an analogue production environment. She holds a PhD from the University of Westminster, London (2016). Schroedinger’s works have been screened and exhibited at numerous contemporary art museums and events across the world, including at Contemporary Image Collective CIC Cairo, Whitney Museum of American Art New York, 17th Istanbul Biennial, 2nd Kyiv Biennial, and her works have been featured at international film festivals in Berlin, Hong Kong and Toronto, among many others.

Melitopoulos and Schroedinger collaborate since 2019 and have a music project named Zonkey.
