Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

Pauline Maure is a multidisciplinary artist who makes films that turn into performances and performances that turn into film. She explores the theatrical possibilities of film screenings, to create enhanced cinematic experiences. Her films have simplistic narratives, exaggerated characters, humorously reductive reenactments of cinematic clichés. They are fiery tales, passionate yet not psychological, that appear as farcical dreams through the projector’s lens. Since 2020, she focuses on western movies, distorting their storylines and reinvesting their visual and moral codes. The Triple Revenge and The Triple Offense of Roppo, Sheara and Morshackle, starring Victoria Aime and Borja Lopez, is a hot vendetta about narcissistic obsessions and domestic violence. She is currently writing the second episode, The Triple Dream and the Triple Nightmare of Roppo, Sheara and Morshackle, a water-based western musical about eco-anxiety.

She graduated in Philosophy from La Sorbonne in Paris, and in Moving Image Arts from Iuav di Venezia in Venice.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

During my residency, I will be focusing on my musical beach western project: finishing the song lyrics and dialogues, collaborating with musicians to create the soundtrack, and recording the singing voiceovers. Additionally, I will be practicing actions using the props I’ve designed, which explore the concept of weaponizing household tools and appliances. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of the western genre, utilizing it as a desertic backdrop for exaggerated tales of love, hate, and domestic violence, incorporating kitsch and distorted imagery of the obsolete Far West.

I love the preliminary stages of filmmaking, viewing them as standalone creation. My approach involves starting from the periphery and working towards the core -ending with the actual story- contrary to traditional methods, which allows for the exploration of unexpected narrative paths.
