Closer to craftsmanship than to the artist, tapestry maker more than video creator, m lafille aims at staying close to people and their environment. She is determined to highlight important insignificant moments of everyone's life, whether he is a street wanderer, a hotel client, a hospital patient, a business lady or a prostitute, a corporate banker or a tourist… She seeks to reveal new interdisciplinary visual paths, to liberate the video art from its traditional applications.
de l'IDTGV 7513 2006 - total time - 180'37 digital tapestries m lafille "The process of digital weaving starts from my own videos wending between dreams and hallucinations, materials and experiences, still or animated images. My tapestries are a visual invitation to explore and savor common places or situations from a different angle. Being digital, they are both decorative patterns and sources of light. Shapes, textures, light and colors are slowly meandering between abstraction and figuration." - m lafille The videos presented were made to be played from a projector. In this context, video becomes digital tapestry, a decorative pattern and an ambient light.
