Kris Limbach (born in 1978) is a audiovisual artist and film maker residing in Berlin. Thinking audiovisual art coming from experimental sound, he is also heavily involved in film projects, exploring constantly formats and aesthetics of cinema. In his sound art work he uses film-editing techniques, prepared drums, tape manipulation , no input mixing and a vast amount of raw and processed fieldrecordings. He released on labels such as
Richard Garets s ́ Contour Editions, Staaltape, Modisti, Framework Radio, Agxivatein and collaborated with artists like John Bock, Pierce Warnecke, Hopek Quirin, Jochen Arbeit, Rinus van Alebeek, Rieko Okuda, Juan Antonio Nieto aka Pangea, Lisa Müller-Trede and more. His experimental feature films “Music for dysfunctional Airports” and “The Lost Color” were shown internationally on film and media art festivals alike. In his film works he wanders between highly abstract live film- and video – manipulation and feature-like experimental cinema. His long term work in set-recording, composition and scoring, especially for performance artist and film maker John Bock influenced his unique process oriented approach to film making. He curates, together with Pierce Warnecke and Seiji Morimoto, the emitter micro label and emitter micro festival, a biennial experimental sound Festival in Berlin. He curates evenings of experimental music and performance in various places, ranging from a emitter night at the Kontakte19 festival at Akademie der Künste to a experimental streaming series T.A.T.V. at Ausland Berlin.

At the moment he is finishing his third experimental feature film “Ohnmacht” that  will be premiered in 2024.
