Bio

Jess Wallace is a filmmaker and writer. In 2007 she produced the video installation ‘Bouyancy’ for Thereforever, an ephemeral public art event for the inaugural Port Festival. As a filmaker/director Jess has worked with a wide range of subject matter from indigenous politics to autism, from dance to leafy sea dragons, and drama to the visual arts. Previous work in film includes documentary, short film and animation as well as government/educational video. Jess Wallace's curiosity for the visual arts is long standing and she is particularly interested in making films that documents the work artists do in a way that resonates with their individual visual language and philosophical approaches to practice. Jess Wallace is currently working on a novel as part of her PhD in Creative Writing at Adelaide University. Research for the novel explores how the concept of narcissism can be used in the development of creative work, and includes making a series of experimental films that echo the experience of the narcissist’s other; the self-object.
