Omer Fast est né à Jérusalem en 1972, il vit et travaille à Berlin.
Pendant de nombreuses années, Omer Fast a construit ses récits à partir de l’enregistrement d’éléments factuels et de développements fictifs. Ses montages vidéo intègrent les différents filtres médiatiques produits par notre société, soulignant ainsi l’ambiguïté du rôle du narrateur. L’écriture et le montage lui permettent de passer du collectif au personnel, du documentaire à la fiction, et de la politique aux formes d’art. Ses enregistrements subjectifs sont isolés, le montage remixe les histoires pour les fondre en une seule. Fast ne peut pas se faire parler d’une seule voix : sa poésie provient de la fragmentation visuelle et de la tension du texte. Les déformations et les ruptures sont les lieux où le spectateur peut jouer un rôle. Omer Fast a réalisé en 2015 son premier long métrage intitulé “Remainder”, une œuvre originale basée sur une adaptation du roman du même nom de Tom McCarthy.
