Michael Lamarche

I have a background in filmmaking and have taught myself some basic animation techniques. My latest videos have found themselves somewhere in between narrative storytelling and non-narrative, conceptual videography.

I am often making artwork in order to study my self. With an introspective drive, I regularly become curious about a topic and how it relates to my mental wellbeing. The process becomes one of experimentation with my self and the mental spaces I explore. With respect to play, I am exploring the difference between what my mental health looks like before and after a long period of playfulness. In a simple and humorous way, the video, Playing, is documentation of the act of play itself. I am giving the viewer a chance to play with me and have their own experience and response.
