To mark the publication of a new book of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's writings, Exilée and Temps Morts: Selected Works, and in conjunction with an exhibition of the artist's work in the BAM galleries, we present a rare screening of Cha's installation Exilée. Meditative and complex, Exilée weaves together Cha's personal experience, Korean history, linguistic play, and poetic structures to allude to the experience of exile. The piece also explores the distinguishing characteristics of its two media, Super 8mm film and video. A video monitor is mounted in a wall onto which a film is projected. In the differences between the rhythms of the editing, the scale of the images, and the quality and sources of the light, as well as the relationship between image and sound, Cha's recurring concern with the theme of displacement emerges. Memory, another preoccupation, is suggested by the use of repetition, fades, and afterimages, as well as by references to the attempts to silence Korea's language and culture during the Japanese occupation. Characteristically, the title itself also plays with language, suggesting both an exiled person and the act of living in exile.
