Laure Prouvost

"Laure Prouvost uses the irresistible pull of the narrative tradition within film to seduce and entertain the viewer with witty and mesmerising juxtapositions of text and image. Yet implied storylines are quickly undermined by out-of-context comments and visuals that introduce a surreal dimension to the viewing experience. "

I'd like to look at the way Prouvost puts together her videos to make them engaging and powerful and then use these techniques in my work with stereotyped behaviour. Her ideas are also interesting as they question human nature - I was particularly interested in the film where she would show a narrated film with subtitles where the two didn't tell the same story.
