Rob Fatal is an Oakland, California-based media artist, filmmaker and media scholar whose work investigates the concepts of narrative, genre, and cinema tropes as they pertain to identity construction and human communication. He uses photo, performance, writing and video to sample and dissect visual and structural cliches from Hollywood films. These snippets of cinema are re-arranged in odd, jarring and perverse manners in an effort to deconstruct and challenge the way societies perceive and consume their various identities and realities.
Fatal’s works have been exhibited in galleries, journals, magazines and festivals including the San Francisco Underground Short Film Festival, Leeds International Independent Film Festival, Everybody’s Perfect Film Festival [Geneva], The Journal for Women’s Studies, The Center for Contemporary Arts Tel Aviv, Mix NYC video festival, Wattis Institute of Contemporary Art, Stranded In Stereo Magazine [Los Angeles / Boston], The Bakersfield Museum of Art, African American Art Complex, Make8elieve Art Magazine [Ohio/Switzerland], The National Queer Arts Festival and the Galeria de la Raza [San Francisco].
His various projects have been funded through numerous grants and awards including The Ginny Klekker Commitment to Art Award, The San Francisco Queer Cultural Center and The Berkeley Film Foundation. He is currently an artist in residence at the Kala Art Institute [Berkeley] and teaches video art at Sacramento State University.
