Guillaume Vallée
Interested in radical forms of moving images in analogue forms as a way of considering the direct interaction between different mediums, his work is an exploration of materiality within the creative process. He makes use of cross-medium forms that range from camera-less techniques to optical effects, glitch, video feedback, usually with found-footage, often resulting in surreal and chaotic imagery. Vallée is exploring the possibilites of magnetic video tape and creates hybrid video and performative work based on the materiality of these analogue supports. He is a member of Montréal's artists collective groop*index.

Ephemeral traces of nothingness.
Rotoscoping farmers, crumbling churches, dying memories as hand-painted layers, decay & collage on film emulsion as incidental traces of nothingness.
A work that is aware of his own mecanisms.
