Through staged scenarios and found footage, in narratives oscillating between the fictional and the documentary—life learned as terror, or as fiction—Jacob Schill’s practice interrogates ideals of control and processes of self-realization. Characterized by a draw to overwhelm and a frontal cinematography, his films and video installations present as dizzying mirror-images of an age marked by hyper-connectivity, bewilderment and confessional self-expression.
Born in 1993, Jacob Schill is a Swedish artist and filmmaker living in Copenhagen, DK. Schill graduated in 2024 from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under artists Jane Jin Kaisen and Agnieszka Polska.
