Nathalie Koger

Artist CV Nathalie Koger

Artist/Filmmaker, Educator, Researcher

Works at the intersection of artistic and pedagogical practice, intertwining practice-based reflection with film-philosophical inquiries.

Her film practice is characterized by open dramaturgies, understanding film as a medium that facilitates encounters, shaped by strategies of appropriation and field-pedagogical approaches.
