Nachmanovitch makes films inside video game engines, often exploring the power dynamics of gameplay mechanics. Nachmanovitch’s work questions how masculinity, agency, gaming, and fantasy are intertwined with radical political movements and historical narratives. Manifesto, film, and literature are repossessed as a means of exploring the condition of the contemporary subject: terminally online, and perpetually saturated with media and games. Currently based in Berlin, previously based in New York City and Glasgow where he studied fine art at the Pratt Institute and the Glasgow School of Art, respectively.
