Marco Joubert

Marco Joubert is a self-taught Canadian filmmaker and video artist, with a background in architecture and visual arts. His audiovisual practice, characterized by its formal rigor, is located at the crossroads of cinema, video art, poetry and philosophy. Thematically, his work revolves around the specificity of the human condition: the implications of our capacity to think and reason; the gap between material comfort and our basic needs; the difficulty of communicating with others; and the ever-looming presence of our mortality. It is about the creation of otherworldly realities that still have the power to resonate with our common experiences as human beings. Joubert currently pursues an MFA at Concordia University, where he explores how today’s technological ecosystem challenges our perceptions and understandings of humanness, as well as how innovative uses of audiovisual languages can grant access to novel ways of thinking.
