Kim Maxime Baglieri is a filmmaker, painter, video-artist and art educator born in New York City and based in Brooklyn. To create her work, Baglieri often draws from her FIlipin@ and Armenian ancestries as well as her queer experience.
I create hybrid documentaries that weave fact and fiction while employing detailed observation. My work investigates departure and presence, death and rebirth, the queer body, ancestral animist technologies, storytelling and art as healing and the myths of borders and linear time. My work functions as oral history while also functioning conceptually. I employ different methods to make the work's construction and my directorial intervention evident. I bring the viewer into a meditative space where themes and ideas emerge as discoveries and questions. To do so, I layer sound, song, voice over and conversation, and create scenes that are observational, performed, reenacted and/or abstracted.
