Emilie Schalck

Emily Schalck could have been Tim Burton’s daughter. This French visual artist reconstructs disquieting spaces that are flooded with archival documents that are often crumpled or erased. She also writes and directs films, mixing techniques and effects from the history of cinema as well as images from popular culture. Schalck has returned to paper in her most recent work, cutting it into fine lace that creates surprising shadows.
