Emilie Serri

After a first bachelor’s degree in art history, Nelly-Eve Rajotte went for a second in visual and media arts at UQAM, followed by a master’s in 2006. She is currently working as an editor and art teacher in Montréal. Nelly-Eve Rajotte’s images in motion bear witness to a research centered on the concept of duality.
Images are generally split or superimposed before melting again into another frame. The artist transforms the images she seizes, reducing them to their formal components, altering them through the modulation of captured lighting, compressing them at times into horizontal bands. The image’s architecture is thus somewhat visible and the juxtaposed soundtrack follows a similar motion.

An exploration of the body as ”living tableau”. Visual imprints on the physical body act as emerging fragments of interior states and intimate experiences buried in the unconscious.
