kimura*lemoine has started filming at age 20 (1988) by accident, and the result was her first short ‘adoption’ that won the prize ‘to be young in europe Competition’ at the brussels super 8 and video film festival. kimura-lemoine used back the medium of ‘moving’ images with videos in 2008 (20 years later) when she was living back and force between canada-europa-korea. Since then zer short-length video of 100 seconds (1:40) is reflecting thoughts of the filmmaker experiences such as immigration (language, racism), queerness (sexual orientation and identity) and adoption (displacement, belonging).
