Kevin Mathein is an artist and filmmaker. Working between the traditions of documentary and structuralist cinema, he designs experiences through the camera’s lens as photography, film, or video or as light-based sculptural installations in physical space. Mathein’s process-centered projects probe how light, architecture, and machines shape human interaction with the natural and constructed environments they inhabit. Maintaining an ethos of hacking and reuse, mathein crafts his projects from the bottom up, often machining the tools, building the electronics, and designing the custom camera systems he uses to produce his works. When not at his workbench, mathein can be found operating a camera or designing lighting for independent and commercial film productions.
workshop based in Brooklyn, NY.
