Sewraj, Yudi

Yudi Sewraj has taught filmmaking, media and films studies at John Abbott College since 2006. Between 1992 and 2002 he developed a body of short experimental videos and films that have been shown in Canada, the US and Europe. This work explored ideas of “authenticity" and the particular relationship between the camera and the subject. His installation work developed as a means of generating both content and structure for his single channel work. Two installations completed during his MFA at the University of California, San Diego uses this approach: “Monologue Table - Rehearsal for an Apology” (2003) and “A Cold Night in February”(2005). His most recent work includes “Salon”(2007), presented at Articule gallery in Montréal, and “Nineteen-seventy-eight”(2009) presented at the Glenhyrst Art Center.
