Kate Pelling is an artist originally from the UK who has lived in Germany since 2013. Her practice includes drawing, video and publication. She is currently exploring ideas around the successes and failures of different communities – as an immigrant in Germany and as a working class artist. Her videos 50 Wigs: Words and 50 Wigs: Experiments, which explore these themes, have won prizes in film festivals around the world.
Kate Pelling studied at Wirral Metropolitan College, Birkenhead, Wimbledon School of Art, London, and Birkbeck, University of London. In 2016, she completed her PhD at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, titled Select Reject Reconfigure: Editing Speech in Artists' Direct Address to Camera, which considered editing processes in artists' video, using drawing to extend the language of editing beyond existing conventions.
