Vincent Jondeau is a filmmaker and artist based in Berlin. His sensitivity to art is partly inherited from a family history open to many forms of artistic and craft expression (sculpture, engraving, lithography, photography, textile arts, drawing, painting, collage). But he is also deeply influenced by a pluralistic academic formation, combining engineering, human sciences and art, which has forged in him a powerful interest in the visible and invisible phenomena that run through our environments and structure our realities.
After a first degree in the field of human sciences, he studied for a double MA degree in Media Art in Paris. He followed additional photography training at Berlin’s Ostkreuzschule through Jessica Backhaus’ seminar. His filmic and photographic work is based on hybrid methods, with which he attempts to develop ecological forms of narrative by questioning the human gaze and including the perspective and memory of plant and animal beings. He has been exhibited in venues such as the Kunstquartier Bethanien in 2024, the Biennale Photo Mulhouse 2024, for which he appeared on the cover of the catalogue, and film festivals such as the Regensburg Short Film Week and others. In 2024, the film project “628 Years of Potatoes” co-directed with Marina Resende Santos won the Mart Stam Prize from the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin.
Alongside his personal artistic practice, he works in the field of artistic heritage preservation and had the opportunity to work for organizations such as the Wim Wenders Foundation or the Alfred Ehrhardt Foundation, as well as being a member of the Youth Jury for the Festival Cinéma du réel in Paris in 2020.
