OK Pedersen, born in Chicago, is an artist and filmmaker of Iraqi descent now living in Montréal. Her work revolves around image-making processes—picking apart the unending loop of seeing, remembering, and knowing. Her recent films focus on mass media, collective dreaming, memory, migration, and the future world we are building. Piecing together captured and found footage, she searches for coincidences that point to the cyclical nature of being. For her, the camera is a copy machine with its own perspective, used for challenging notions of ownership and authenticity in the image world and for exploding the progress narrative.
