Joram Schön, born and raised in Berlin-Moabit, is an artist and filmmaker. He studied fine arts at UdK Berlin in the class of Thomas Zipp. He has participated in several group, duo, and solo exhibitions in Germany and abroad. In his drawings he combines nature and urban observations. He preserves urban change in his critical questions about topographies and architecture. He is currently doing his master's degree at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne (KMH), combining the mediums of drawing and filmmaking to realize autobiographical short stories.

For his residency, Joram Schön plans to realize two chapters of his film essay The Journey of Abu J. – from Dönninghaus to the Sinai in Los Angeles. His cinematic-narrative essay explores the limits and possibilities of Western-style burial culture, taking thematic detours along the way.
