TINTIN WULIA

Tintin Wulia earned her Bachelor of Engineering in Architecture from the Parahyangan Catholic University, Indonesia in 1998, and Bachelor of Music in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music, USA in 1997. During her cross-disciplinary studies she started exploring visual arts (mainly through digital video) and investigating how spatial composition could contribute to narrative. Through realizing her works in the formats of film/single-channel video and objects-based as well as new media installation, Wulia is researching the tensions between the personal and the political, particularly in context of boundary renegotiations. She is interested in the flux of the contact zone, where the issues of migration, geopolitical borders and interpersonal borders collide. Wulia’s work has been awarded, screened, exhibited, and collected internationally, amongst others in the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, New York Underground Film Festival, Hamburg International Short Film Festival, Festival Film dan Video Independen Indonesia, SBS TV Australia, Istanbul Biennial, Yokohama Triennial, Jakarta Biennial, Van Abbemuseum, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, and London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. She is also a recipient of the Australian Postgraduate Awards 2007-2009 for her research in Fine Art at RMIT University, Australia.
