Sibylle Tiedemann
Film
Sybille Tiedemann is a filmmaker, photographer, director, writer, and producer whose career spans cinema, television, and fine art photography. Since 1990, she has directed and produced numerous films for both the big screen and television. Her early photobook, Dies sind eben alles Bilder der Straße (Syndikat Verlag, Frankfurt, 1979), marked her initial foray into documentary street photography.
A residency at Villa Aurora in 2005 sparked Tiedemann’s renewed engagement with analog photography, leading to a series of solo exhibitions including Muriels and Broken Landscapes (2005), LA – RESEARCH (2006), and Villa Aurora (2007). She was awarded the Art Prize of the City of Neu-Ulm in 2007. From 2008 to 2012, she developed the multimedia film and exhibition project Briefe aus Chicago / Bilder aus dem Exil. Her work has also included video installations such as Seeing is Remembering / Dementia / Room of Daydreams (Roggenburg, 2011) and the exhibition Von Außen nach Innen nach Außen at Kloster Roggenburg (2012).
Currently, Tiedemann is developing new film projects, including Traumfabrik (set in Kerala, India) and Das Blindeninstitut. Her work is marked by a documentary sensibility, a keen eye for everyday realities, and a commitment to exploring memory, exile, and the interplay between inner and outer worlds.
