INEZ DE VEGA
Inez de Vega is a visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia. She works with new technology and old films to reinterpret our shared cinematic history and explore new ways in which this medium may be presented.
Employing melodrama in video and live performance, de Vega utilises herself as both the subject and object of her art to explore the psychology behind human suffering, much of which is generated in the mind. By filming herself interacting with characters and sequences from old movies (Gilda, Pierrot le Fou, In a Year of 13 Moons) de Vega employs her 'film-colonising' technique to construct mashed-up narratives that tell a tale of our anxieties and desires. Her cinema-infused films interrogate female subjectivity and psychological neuroses.
