Karel Doing is an independent artist, filmmaker, and researcher whose practice investigates the relationship between culture and nature by means of analogue and organic process, experiment, and co-creation. His work has been shown worldwide at festivals, in cinemas, on stage, and in galleries. He was a founder member of Studio één, a pioneering DiY film laboratory. He has invented “phytography,” a technique that combines plants and photochemical emulsion. He regularly gives workshops and talks to share his ideas and skills.

"Karel Doing explores the ‘ruins’ of cinema and the innovative ways by which the experimental artists, since the end of the 20th century, are trying to keep it alive … a unique contribution to the field by one of the most important contemporary artists in the experimental field." Nicole Brenez, Professor of Film Studies, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3"A highly original reflection on cine poetics, ethics and aesthetics demonstrating that artists have much to contribute to forms of human resilience." Janine Marchessault, Professor in Cinema and Media Arts, York University
