Born in 1986, Viktoria Schmid is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Vienna, working at the intersection of cinema and exhibition spaces. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally in exhibitions and film festivals. She studied filmmaking at the Friedl Kubelka School, holds a BA in Cinema Studies from the University of Vienna, and a Master’s degree in Time-Based Media from the University of Art and Design Linz. The various mediums she uses, such as film, video, and photography, act as co-authors of her work—she appreciates how their unique characteristics shape each piece.
With _NYC RGB_ Viktoria Schmid shows us a view of New York that we’ve never seen before, made possible by historical color film processes. The material, triple exposed with different color filters, mixes colors, space, and time to a perception that is possible only in film. Evidence of cinema’s potential for bursting open reality.
