Charline Dally
Charline Dally is an artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal, half of the duo le désert mauve. Inhabited by the subversive potential of radical softness, she considers hypersensitivity as a form of power. Her practice combines analog video signals, computer generated imagery, glass and textile through films, installations, and performances. Inspired by astromineralogical research and hydrofeminist ideas, her works are intended to encourage introspection and sharpen our attention to subtleties. Graduated from Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains and UQAM in visual arts, she presented her first solo show this womb of things to be at the Diagonale art center in Montréal in May 2024. Her work has been exhibited in institutions such as Museum of contemporary art of Toronto (CA), Joliette Art Museum(CA), Fresnoy - Studio national (FR), Place des Arts (CA), and festivals like FNC - Nouveau Cinema Festival (CA), FIFA - International Festival of Films on Art (CA), HTMlles Festival (CA), Curtas Vila do Conde (PT), Ann Arbor Film Festival (USA), VIFF - Vancouver International Film Festival (CA), CTM Festival (DE), Linecheck (IT), BISFF - Beijing International Short Film Festival (CN). She has performed at the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts (CA), Museum of Bas-Saint-Laurent (CA), SAW (CA), Society for Arts and Technology (CA), MUTEK (CA, ES, AR), Transart (IT), Dour (BE).
le désert mauve:
Inspired by the self-titled novel by poet Nicole Brossard, le désert mauve proposes a soft audiovisual synthesis. As a duo, sound artist Gabrielle HB and video artist Charline Dally produce video artworks and performances oscillating between fluid landscapes, never-ending views, and microscopic dances. They develop slow, subtle progressions that erode a notion of time. Observing the space between thoughts, feeling the unfolding of a movement and capturing the void. It is an inner place opening to spacious possibilities. Le désert mauve has presented their work at Ann Arbor Film festival (MI), BISFF (Pékin), MAJ (Joliette, QC), RVQC (Montréal), MUTEK (Montréal et Buenos Aires+Barcelone), ADAF (Athènes), Film Maudit (LA), Light Matter (NY), Noviembre Electrónico (Buenos Aires), Cadence Videopoetry festival (Seattle). They are invited members at Perte de Signal (Montréal) and were part of AMPLIFY D.A.I. cohort.
