Daphne Rosenthal is an artist/filmmaker whose work stands at the crossroads of experimental animation and art. Playing with different materials by using animation and puppet techniques, she explores their movements and textures evoking tangible sensations. Moods constantly emerge from and dissolve into their surroundings.

Rosenthal lives and works in Amsterdam and studied at the Rietveld Academie (BFA 2008, Gerrit Rietveld Prize for Best Film and Video 2008). Also, she has strong ties with Los Angeles where she studied at Calarts (MFA Experimental Animation 2014). Her work has been shown at Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, Hawick, Scotland - Museo Universitario del Chopo, Mexico City - Mediamatic, Amsterdam - Quartier 21, Vienna - Nest, The Hague - Swedenborg Film Festival, London - Experiments in Cinema, Albuquerque - Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles - The Wende Museum, Culver City.

Performance Graffix Festival at De Studio in Antwerpen november 2024

In this live-performance by Liew Niyomkarn (BE) and Daphne Rosenthal (NL) the meaning of materials and objects we surround ourselves with, is evoked through layers of field recordings, suspended time stretches, and animation.

Liew Niyomkarn en Daphne Rosenthal presenteren samen een live performance die de betekenis oproept van materialen en objecten waarmee we ons omringen, door middel van gelaagde veldopnames, opgeschorte tijdspannes en animatie.
