Ornella Fieres’s work explores the hidden aspects of digital technologies. For her investigations she develops photography, video and sound techniques that forcefully merge analog and digital material, as well as different moments in time. Fieres works with photographs and documentary film material from the turn of the 20th century - a time that was coined by a fascination of occultism in combination with technology -  and processes the found footage with seemingly alchemistic methods. She uses self-built apparatuses, autonomous algorithms or tweaked software to create singular moments that carry lingering traces of passed instants.  

Fieres's multimedia installations have been exhibited internationally at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Goethe Institut Toronto, Literaturhaus Berlin, NurtureArt Gallery New York, Kunstverein Speyer and Fotografie Forum Frankfurt. She has given lectures and presentations at Volksbühne Berlin, Haus am Lützowplatz Berlin, Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach and at New Lab New York, where she had a research residency in 2017. Her third solo exhibition in Berlin will open in the fall of 2020 at Sexauer Gallery, followed by her second solo exhibition in New York at signs and symbols.
