Amelie Chabannes Artist Update : 798 Beijing Biennale 2009


From Amelie: 

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I will be showing "My Portrait Of Your Identity, Your Portrait Of My Identity" a collaboration with video artist Antonia Dias Leite at the 798 BEIJING BIENNALE 2009 (Latin American Pavilion curated by Nicoykatiushka)
From 8/15 to 9/12. Dashanzi Art District

“My Portrait of Your Identity, Your Portrait of My Identity” consists of a double channel video Installation in which Chabannes and Dias Leite explore how identity remains unreachable, mutable, multiple and contradictory. The more the interviewees offers elements of identification, the more their identity reveals their complexity, richness and mystery. In a time of strong affirmation of identity (cultural, religious, national…), this project aims to expose the fragility and opacity of individual identities.

Watch the Videos.


Regards,
Amelie
