  I lived everywhere and fit in absolutely nowhere.
I think sometimes that I'm really just a wallflower. People sometimes comment that my work is either too pretty or too offensive
I just wish sometimes that I could just disappear and fade into the background like floating images that disappear if you get too close. Sierra Choi
It is utterly useless to talk about one's own work anymore. Sierra Choi

The films and video installations of Sierra Choi often explore the relationship between text, image and sound but more frequently exploit the politics of gender, race and cultural identity. She has made over twenty short videos in the past two years that dissect the causal relationships between that of the viewer with the work whilst integrating the traditions of cinema and painting with that of the video installation. Her work aims to pose the question of the medium and at times, seems to methodically vacillate between print and the moving image, between photography and painting, between the past and present, between catharsis and melodrama, between sound and noise; and between the digital and analogue methods of production.

Her work has been exhibited and screened in Paris, Berlin, Dublin, San Francisco and London.
