Educated at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada, where he studied film,[1] he first worked in commercials and feature films, directing the successful 1993 science fiction film Demolition Man. In 1998 he shifted focus to video and photography projects, and has since exhibited works in private and public collections, including at the Guggenheim Museum in New York,[2] "Cyclorama" at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,[3] "HalfLife" at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, and a solo exhibition featuring seven works at Santa Monica Museum of Art in 2011. His commissions include "Superstar" for the "59th Minute" series in Times Square in 1999,[5] and "Arcadia" for "Massless Medium: Explorations in Sensory Immersion" at Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage in 2001,[6] both for New York public arts organization Creative Time. His installation, "Cathedral" was showcased during the Toronto International Film Festival 2008, and his 3D work "Evolution" was selected for the 2011 Venice Film Festival and the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. A second 3D work "Civilization" is a permanent installation at the Standard Hotel in New York. Transit, a collection of photographs Brambilla took in and around national and international airports, was published by Booth-Clibborn Editions in 2000.[7] Brambilla currently lives and works between New York and Los Angeles.
