Artist Talk: Frederique Chauveaux

Coming from the dance field, Frederique Chauveaux is a French experimental videographer. From 1984 to 1996 she directed her own Company "The Bridge of Arts" for which she created many choreographic pieces questioning the relation to the Other-lover.
In addition to her research work, she regularly collaborated with directors of operas or theatre (Roman Polanski, Antoine Vitez, André Hengel).

In 1998 she began to work with video; this medium allows her to take a new look at the body which naturally becomes the main subject of his creations.

Since then Frederique Chauveaux imagines video installations by which she seeks to involve the viewer physically and sensually by placing him at the heart of the work.

Frederique will introduce her artistic journey that started with dance to visual art, developing the moments of transition from one practice to another. She will talk about the body, matter (flesh, skin, talc, clay…), the question of nudity and sensuality and present the project she would like to develop during her residency time at Villa Saigon (from May 5 to June 30).

This event is supported by Institut Francais a Ho Chi Minh ville.
