FIFEQ Montreal - Partial Perspectives Creative Workshop
Film & TV
Collaboration with Festival International du Film Ethnographique du Québec (FIFEQ) Montreal for the 21st edition, which focused on the duality of the visible and invisible in ethnographic film. I had the opportunity to design and facilitate a creative workshop in collaboration with visual anthropologist Danya Leal, on ethnographic filmmaking at Espace Go, in which participants were invited to analyze and critically examine the role that both the production and post-production phase play in the construction of ethnographic meaning. A 15-20 minute lecture was provided to familiarize participants with the history of ethnographic filmmaking, in particular the invisible power dynamics behind representation in anthropology. Participants worked together to plan, film, and edit a short ethnographic film sequence on the theme of partial perspectives, with guidance from the workshop hosts. The final products were screened at the closing party in the evening.
The Home Page
Visual Arts
“The Home Page” is an interactive website on the topic of souvenirs and explores the instinct and desire to o possess a place through mementos, photos, and reconstruction. The website, which is coded using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, plays on memory and how memory is expressed digitally. In “The Home Page” memory is organized through older recording devices such as digital cameras and storage devices such as the iPod. The role of these devices in memory is indistinguishable from the memories themselves. In a sense, the interface of the technology that stores the memory is as important to the memory or sense of nostalgia as the captured data itself. https://vimeo.com/1075497232/b8b23fff3e?ts=0&share=copy

An short video piece which serves as an ode to the Chinese bootleg DVD market and the low quality copy. Inspired by Hito Steyerl’s “In Defense of the Poor Image”. The video was created partially in a web environment with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. The final product was assembled in Premiere Pro and After Effects. https://vimeo.com/1087790127/32a5961260?share=copy

About • Biography
Chloe Kim Marchal is a mixed French-Vietnamese Canadian multimedia artist based in Montreal. Her practice, a mix of video art and web-based projects, focuses on themes of globalization, cultural imperialism, and pop culture. Her work, deeply influenced by a multicultural upbringing and having frequently moved countries, deals with ideas of rootedness, nationalism, and globalization. Visual motifs such as pixelated images, bright colors, looping animations and PNGs stitched together to form half-remembered environments all speak to the artist’s experience of the internet as an amalgamated hybrid third space.
