Erin Weisgerber is a Tiohtià:ke/Montreal-based artist who works with photochemical film to produce installations, performances and short films. She manipulates the photographic, chemical and material properties of film to transform the world framed by her camera, bringing about moving images that exist between figuration and abstraction, exterior vision and interior landscape. Weisgerber is a member of Double Negative Collective, a group of moving image artists dedicated to the creation and exhibition of experimental and avant-garde cinema and who maintain a self-managed artisanal film laboratory. Since 2019, she has been a member of Jerusalem in My Heart, an audiovisual performance project, with Lebanese producer and musician Radwan Ghazi Moumneh.
