Victoria Stanton

I initially began performing through stage-based works, presenting stories and songs about love, hurt, wonder, being, and being present. The stage is a seductive yet terrifying space, where I’ve experienced intense connection, vulnerability and colossal failures that became some of my most important performance moments.  [Feature photo: Vincent Poirier]

I sometimes make short oneiric films along with narrative video works; dreamscapes about place that go nowhere and stories about people or phenomena in video-poem formats. Many of the works listed here are distributed through Groupe Intervention Vidéo and have been shown in festivals internationally.

As a life/art corporate-subversion project, the Bank of Victoria was officially opened in June 2001. CEO Victoria Stanton set up shop providing consultation and cheques to those in need. In June 2003, the BoV inaugurated its official website, www.bankofvictoria.com. [Feature photo: courtesy esse magazine]
