Floris Schönfeld is a visual artist and filmmaker based in San Francisco and Amsterdam, where he mainly works with film and performance. The focus of his work is the relationship between fiction and faith: he constantly tries to find the line between defining his context and being defined by it. In the words of the Scottish artist Charles Avery: “Believing in fiction is not about saying life is but a dream … It means that everything is real: there can be no distinction between mind and matter.” In 2010 Schönfeld completed the multi-disciplinary project ‘u’ in which he reconstructed the first authentic Klingon opera on Earth. He holds an MFA studio practice degree from the California College of Art in San Francisco.
