Stephanie Comilang

Stephanie Comilang is a Toronto and Berlin-based artist and filmmaker whose documentary-style works create narratives that look at how our understandings of mobility, capital, and labor on a global scale are shaped through various cultural and social factors. Blending temporality, geography, and technology, her sci-fi narratives explore themes of diaspora, generational shifts, survival, violence, and desire where the future and past converge.

Comilang’s work has recently been shown at Thyssen Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Tai Kwun Hong Kong, London’s Tate Modern, Julia Stoschek Collection in Berlin, and Munich’s Haus der Kunst, among others. She was awarded the 2019 Sobey Art Award, Canada’s most prestigious art prize for artists forty years of age and younger.
