About

Parisa Karimi is an artist, filmmaker, cultural educator, and researcher whose transdisciplinary practice explores sensorial, ecological, and philosophical questions between human and more-than-human bodies within postcolonial and industrialized landscapes.

Her practice weaves together non-linear forms of storytelling with essay, animation, collage, performance, film, olfactory compositions, and sculpture into multisensory installations that narrate stories of invisible and overlooked aspects of shared histories.

Her interests center on decolonial processes of unlearning binary categories and (re)learning holistic approaches that open possibilities for radical imagination, as well as practices oriented toward shared presents and futures.

Grounded in site-specific research, her artistic inquiry employs anthropological methods such as walking, archival work, and interviews, and involves collaborations with local communities.

Her works intertwine documentary and speculative elements, using technologies such as interactive interfaces and projection mapping to create experiential spaces.

Parisa Karimi is the founder of RanGBarang (RGB) studio (https://rangbarang.studio) and the HeimatlosGrenzenlos (https://www.heimatlos-grenzenlos.de) network, a platform dedicated to promoting anti-racist and intersectional media (art and pedagogy) work.

As the artistic director of RanGBarang Studio, she also collaborates on film and theatre productions. Her works have been presented at international festivals and exhibition spaces.

Her last solo exhibition was presented from November 2025 to January 2026 in Taiwan, titled How to Connect With Landscape, at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts.

Parisa Karimi studied Philosophy at the University of Cologne and audiovisual media at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne.
