Phil Solomon (b.1954) is a prominent American experimental filmmaker. His works have been widely exhibited. Solomon has been shown at the Whitney Biennial of American Art, the New York Film Festival, MoMA NY, Tate Modern, London, and innumerable other venues in the US, Europe, South America, Japan, Hong Kong, and India

In  his impressive work American Falls (2010), he chemically manipulates iconic moments of American history as these have been presented in period films, thus weaving a cinematically mediated ironic and anxious look at the American dream.

In recent works Solomon has shifted to purely digital format, appropriating videogame sessions as an unexpected source of ‘found footage’.  The In Memoriam trilogy, which shall be shown at the Hansen House together with American Falls, presents an unsettling experience of places that are at the same time very familiar and extremely unreal and uninhabitable.
