Synopsis
Point de mémoire: les sports d'hiver is a mixed-media installation that seeks to investigate technology's effect on the active process of making history. Jacquelyn explores this through a juxtaposition of reconfigured found footage from the 1930's and newly created Super 8 films that were inspired by those archival images. These non-linear short narratives are synchronized and edited in such a way that the stories respond to each other and are intended to be projected onto opposite-facing handmade screens. Both films are united by a single overarching soundtrack created from ambient audio gathered while shooting in Manitoba. Point de mémoire explores the spirit of nostalgia, playfulness, and the “re-creation" of memory and was recently shown at La maison des artistes visuels francophones (MAVF) from Nov. 2009 to Jan. 2010.
