Exilèe

Cha made Exilèe ("exiled" in French) following her first trip back to Korea in 1979. For this simultaneous film and video installation, she embedded a television monitor into a freestanding wall and projected a Super 8 film onto its surface, superimposing the two forms of moving image. In the accompanying audio soundtrack, Cha reflected on the distance traveled from San Francisco to Korea as measured in passing minutes and the sixteen hours that separate the time zones between California and the country of her birth.

The Emperor's New Clothes

Napoleon, exiled, devises a plan to retake the throne. He'll swap places with commoner Eugene Lenormand, sneak into Paris, then Lenormand will reveal himself and Napoleon will regain his throne. Things don't go at all well; first, the journey proves more difficult than expected, but more disastrously, Lenormand enjoys himself too much to reveal the deception. Napoleon adjusts somewhat uneasily to the life of a commoner while waiting, while Lenormand gorges on rich food.

Nothing Personal

Alone in her empty flat, from her window Anne observes the people passing by who nervously snatch up the personal belongings and pieces of furniture she has put out on the pavement. Her final gesture of taking a ring off her finger signals she is leaving her previous life in Holland behind. She goes to Ireland, where she chooses to lead a solitary, wandering existence, striding through the austere landscapes of Connemara. During her travels, she discovers a house that is home to a hermit, Martin.
