      Still: So Low You Can’t Get Over It
      Stanya KAHN (1968, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist working mainly in film and video. She graduated magna cum laude from San Francisco State University and received an MFA from Bard College. In her hybrid media practice – which includes drawings, sound, writing, performance, sculpture and installation – she blurs the lines between fiction and documentary, often mixing pathos with humour and the uncanny. Kahn has collaborated with many performers, choreographers and other visual artists. She has exhibited worldwide at venues such as Institute for Contemporary Art Los Angeles, MoMA PS1, British Film Institute and ZKM.
