About

Cristian Văduva is a visual and multimedia artist, cinematographer and videographer based in Timișoara, Romania. His artistic practice focuses on moving image, space and the sensory experience of the viewer. He works through his own multimedia production studio, Kaze Media.
Since 2015, he has been creating visual experiences for concerts, musicians and festivals, exploring the relationship between image, sound and live performance. Since 2018, his practice has expanded into theatre, contemporary dance and performance art, where moving image becomes an integral part of the stage and storytelling process.
His work spans video and multimedia installations, documentary and short films, music videos, large-scale video projections and mapping, as well as photography and stop-motion animation. He is interested in the ways in which moving image can transform the perception of a space and create experiences that go beyond visual representation.
In recent years, his artistic research has focused on the relationship between image, space, memory and perception, developing projects in which film, sound, architecture and performance intersect within an interdisciplinary visual language. An important direction of his practice is the exploration of social and cultural realities through documentary and poetic forms, with a continued interest in themes such as identity, history, transformation and the relationship between humans and their environment.
One of his most significant recent projects is Crafting Transylvania, developed with a small team for the ASTRA Museum in Sibiu. Dedicated to traditional craftsmanship in wood, clay and textiles, the project included three video installations and a large-scale video mapping work, and received the iF Design Award 2025.
His work has been presented in cultural contexts in Romania and internationally, through collaborations with artists from music, theatre, contemporary dance and visual arts, as well as through film, photography and multimedia production. Across his practice, he explores ways of using technology not merely as a production tool, but as an integral part of the artistic language and the audience’s direct experience.
