Khrystell Burlin, born in 1975 in Condom en Armagnac, a small town in Southwest France, is a Multimedia artist and a Contemporary Music Composer.

His multiscreens films and video installations have been shown in several festivals and museums throughout the world (London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Montreal, Tokyo and Sydney amongst others), and have been very well received by both the public and critics. As a researcher, he also wrote several research articles focusing on music, film, and post-modernity.

Strongly influenced by ancient arts and mythologies, as well as by classical cinema and silent films, Khrystell Burlin develops a very metaphoric, non-realistic and estheticist approach floating between the ancient and modern. The main purpose of his artistic work is to explore techniques of superimposition and montage inside the shot to put an emphasis on the concept of Compositing, a concept which is often contrasted with that of montage.

As a composer, he has been engaged in several collaborative projects involving visual arts, film, and contemporary dance. Influenced by the American repetitive school and popular electronic music, his works have been performed in several concerts as well as receiving airplay on several radio stations, including France Musique.
