Oeuvrant dans les champs du cinéma et de l’art contemporain, Julie Chaffort s’intéresse tout particulièrement à l’immensité et à la vacuité des territoires naturels, à leur aspect désertique et délaissé ; ses films et vidéos sont habités par une certaine lenteur, invitant à l’écoute et à la contemplation, mais jouant aussi sur les registres de l’absurde, de la chute, de la surprise et du décalage. Pour Julie Chaffort, le cinéma est un médium dominant, naturel, qu’elle choisit très tôt de développer, à l’école des beaux-arts de Bordeaux où elle étudie, puis auprès de Roy Andersson qu’elle assiste, et de Werner Herzog dont elle suit le séminaire à sa Rogue Film School. En 2013, elle expose au Centre International d’Art et du Paysage de Vassivière Hot-Dog, moyen-métrage qu’elle y a réalisé la même année en résidence. L’année suivante, elle présente sa première exposition personnelle Jour Blanc au Centre Clark de Montréal, avec des installations vidéos et sonores créées in situ. En résidence à Pollen à Monflanquin 2015, elle réalise le moyen-métrage La barque silencieuse ; ce film, "aussi facétieux qu’émouvant, aussi déroutant que respectueux de tout ce qui s’offre à voir et à entendre" pour Jean- Pierre Rehm, est sélectionné en 2016 en compétition française et premier film au FID Marseille. Il est également projeté à la galerie Thaddaeus Ropac à Paris Pantin lors de l’exposition “Jeune création 66ème édition” et remporte deux prix indépendants, avec deux expositions à la clé, l’une pour la Progress Gallery, Entre chiens et loups, et l’autre pour la galerie du Pavillon à Pantin, Les cowboys (également selectionné au FID en 2017). Julie Chaffort remporte aussi en 2015 le prix Bullukian et crée Somnambules, une exposition personnelle présentée à la fondation. L’artiste a été lauréate du prix "Talents Contemporains" 2015 de la fondation François Schneider pour l’oeuvre Montagnes Noires et obtient la même année, le prix Mezzanine Sud et expose au Musée des Abattoirs de Toulouse. Le film La barque silencieuse entre en 2017 dans la collection du FRAC Aquitaine et la vidéo Nostalgia dans celle du FRAC Occitanie Toulouse. Julie Chaffort vient d’être lauréate du prix Mécènes du Sud Montpellier-Sète. et d’obtenir une bourse à la création du CNAP pour la réalisation de son projet vidéo PRINTEMPS.

Fragments on Machines reveals the physical framework and materiality of the Internet, a vast network often thought and spoken about solely in abstract terms. Taking New York City as its central focus and interwoven with a fictionalised narrative, the film observes the evolution of architecture in the city to accommodate the material nodes and connectors that comprise the physical manifestation of the “virtual” world. New York is home to many of the great buildings that symbolise nineteenth and early twentieth century industrial capitalism. Today, it is significant that a number of these Art Deco skyscrapers—located predominantly in the Financial District—have become the containers for the infrastructure of the Internet and virtual capital. These grand monuments of brick and steel are now homes to the servers and computers that drive post-industrial finance capitalism. Highly elusive yet pervasive in their nature, data centres consist of room upon room of copper and fibre-optic cables, computer servers and ventilation systems. With direct links to the companies they serve, these Internet hubs become a kind of unofficial space for trade.

«Après la réalisation du film "from here to eau" réalisé en 2002 en collaboration avec Céleste Boursier-Mougenot lors de la présentation de l’oeuvre aux Beaux Arts de Paris, Céleste Boursier-Mougenot m’invite à développer librement mon travail personnel, une de mes actions filmées dans le cadre d’une installation considérée comme un environnement, un paysage. Les participants, qui ne sont pas des acteurs professionnels, répondent à une annonce publiée sur les réseaux sociaux. Pour chaque tournage, un groupe est constitué par des personnes de tous âges, de toutes appartenances sociales et de toutes apparences physiques (car je ne pratique pas le casting) qui s’impliquent bénévolement dans le projet pour des raisons qui leurs sont personnelles, multiples et variées. L’écriture, la scénarisation des corps se dessine au fur et à mesure de leur inscription dans le lieu et de leur relation avec les pièces de Céleste Boursier-Mougenot qu’ils découvrent comme des visiteurs, leur réceptivité et leur présence est intensifiée par le fait qu’ils soient nus. Je leur demande d’être à l’écoute des formes visuelles et sonores. Je n’ai pas d’autre projet que de capter ce qui advient dans ce moment de partage, une deuxième phase de mon travail consiste dans le montage d’un film qui doit aussi donner à voir et à entendre les oeuvres de Céleste Boursier-Mougenot d’une manière inédite.» Enna Chaton Au sujet de cette collaboration Céleste Boursier-Mougenot dit : «C’est un moyen de déplacer le regard sur mon oeuvre, de favoriser la démarche d’une artiste dont j’apprécie le projet, de garder une trace de l’installation en dépassant le stade du simple document filmé.» A ce jour il existe 4 films : "télescopages", "errances #1", "dérives", "errances #2".

Enna Chaton travaille avec des hommes et des femmes de tous âges, de tous milieux, bénévoles, qui répondent à ses appels à participation par petites annonces. Après de nombreux échanges par mails, elle constitue des groupes, organise des rencontres et met en scène des performances au cours desquelles les participants explorent des territoires qui leur sont inconnus : ils inventent un vocabulaire, une langue, une façon de s’approprier le geste, le lieu, la nudité. Leur présence crée une forme singulière puisqu’Enna Chaton provoque une vaste mise à nu : une confrontation à la fois douce et brutale, frontale, avec soi-même, avec les autres et avec le public. La plasticienne, photographe et performeuse accompagne nue les participants, désireuse de partager leur fragilité. Avec eux, elle tente d’ouvrir un espace permissif, expérimental où l’être se révèle différent que dans son quotidien, où la nudité crée un univers décalé du monde actuel. Cette nudité, démocratique, balaie les normes et les stéréotypes. Elle collabore avec Stéphane Despax, plasticien sur le projet "le colier de perle", film, performance, installation ; avec Carole Rieussec sur le projet "Dégrafer l’espace", artiste sonore, film, performance, installation ; avec Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, musicien et plasticien, "Télescopages", "Errances #1", "dérives" et "Errances #2", actions filmées. Elle est performeuse dans le spéctacle "La bohémia éléctronica … Nuca derme" de la compagnie Kristoff K.roll. Depuis 2005 elle est membre de l’Association "Sonorités", participe à l’organisation du festival, s’occupe de la programmation du festival Sonorités - du texte au son avec Anne-James Chaton auteur et poète sonore, Carole Rieussec musicienne, Didier Aschour musicien, Jean-Kristoff Camps musicien, Emmanuel Adely auteur, Frédéric Dumond auteur. Elle est diplômée de l’École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Cergy Pontoise option art en 1995. Elle enseigne la photographie et la vidéo en classe préparatoire à l’École des Beaux Arts de Sète depuis 2003.

This award winning work creates discursive situations to facilitate in-depth and contemplative observation of the environmental decay of transitive sites in India, using media intervention and interactivity. The project aims to delineate the processes of decay and destruction of pastoral landscapes in the developing economies and societies. Taking point-of-departure from a perspective in the personal experience of forgetting and loss, being a native of the area myself (the artist), this large-scale project intends to reflect upon the interpenetration between locative and global cultures, decay in environmental and climatic integrity, disappearance of indigenous traditions and lapses in collective memory within the landscapes, by production and showcasing of the inter-media installation work. With a media anthropological approach, the project frames the gradual transfiguration with the help of media convergence, staging augmented and site-specific interpenetration between sound, video and still images. The work has been developed through a meticulous collection of audiovisual materials from various Indian locations in extensive fieldworks supported by Prince Claus Fund Amsterdam. This collection has been forming a digital archive expended for realizing the work.
