Helena Wittmann
Directing
Helena Wittmann was born 1982 in Neuss, Germany. Originally studying Spanish and Media Studies in Erlangen and Hamburg, she went on to attend The University of Fine Arts of Hamburg (HFBK) between 2007 and 2014. In her films and within her artistic practice, rooms constitute much more than just bare venues of a storyline. She questions and contextualises the boundaries of these rooms, in them, with them, on them and along them. Since 2015 she is working as artistic research assistant at the HFBK. Her work was shown internationally in exhibitions and filmfestivals.
