About Me
Aline trained as a visual artist and spent her twenties and early thirties in New York City, where she made videos and photographs that blurred the lines between autobiography and fiction, combining documentary, found and invented footage. Her short videos include Desperate, based on Patty Hearst's ordeal with the SLA, Meanwhile, In..., a scrapbook style reenactment of her early teenage years in the Middle East, Pleasures of Autobiography, a brief adaptation of Georges Battaille's Story of the Eye and OLOP, a quadruple screen account of a New York City sex worker. Her film maudit is 670 Riverside, an unformed collection of video footage starring Carol Bruner, Bronwen King and Arthur Hurwitz. Inspired by her muse, New York City's West Harlem district, 670 Riverside is crammed with unusual personalities, vividly low-tech production values and magic.Aline has exhibited and screened her work in Europe and the US. She has written for various international art and culture publications and has published fiction in Futureways, an anthology commissioned by the Whitney Museum.Aline currently resides in London, where she is training as a mental health support worker. She is co-curating a group exhibition, to take place in 2008, and contributes on an ad-hoc basis to www.realitysandwich, a portal for alternative living and culture.She is deeply influenced by offbeat, low budget and cult cinema as well as that genre of film clunk-ily housed under the rubric of experimental or avant-garde.POLITE NOTICE: Feel free to post whatever personal visuals you like on my comments page.
