Philippe Riera is a founding member of the SUPERAMAS group.
Superamas is an artist collective based in Belgium, Vienna and Paris. In French "Superamas" stands for a big migrating galaxy cluster, the biggest known structure in the universe. Founded in 1999 the collective is known to search for creative impulses in all areas of life. They mingle their source material with performance, dance, lighting, video, installation and music by equally treating each of these media. They call their method "dé-montrer" which originally described an entity to be broken down and dismembered, thus the visual facts become disputable. In 1999 they debuted with "Building", which was followed by many productions for theatres and festivals in Europe and the US, such as: "BIG-Triology" (2002, 2004, 2006), a.o. For 2010/11 they plan the publication of a book with La Pesse du Reel and Jeroen Peeters on the "BIG"-seris. "Big, 3rd episode (happy/end)", "High Art" and "Empire (Art & Politics)", "Youdream" (2011) are currently on tour throughout Europe and Northamerica.
