Fiona Kastrop ist Medienkünstlerin, Filmemacherin und Teil der Freien Theaterszene. Sie studierte Szenische Künste und Medienkunst und war als Inspizientin und Regieassistentin mehrere Jahre fest am Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam engagiert. Sie bewegt sich mit ihren Arbeiten zwischen Performance, Installation und experimentellem Dokumentarfilm. Dabei erforscht sie seltsame Landschaften, Wahrnehmung und Erinnerung, Prozesse, Chaos und Ordnung, Schichten und Ausschnitte. Es geht um Sichtbares und Unsichtbares – digitale Welten, aber genauso um Schere, Stift und Papier.
