FOCUS ON Ella Raidel – Programm 2

In her works, Ella Raidel primarily examines the socio-cultural aspects of globalization and urbanization in Asia, as well as the logic of image production itself. In doing so, she has developed an individual documentary form at the interface between research and practice. Since 2019, she has been Assistant Professor of Documentary Film at NTU Nanyang Technological University Singapore's School of Art, Design and Media.
