Michel Auder began as a filmmaker in Paris during the 1960s, having been influenced by the poet Arthur Rimbaud and the innovative ideas of Jean-Luc Godard. In 1969 he left for New York and joined Andy Warhol and the Chelsea Hotel circle. Around this time he purchased the first commercially available video camera, and has since shot thousands of hours of footage on an almost continuous basis. His video work has been featured in exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Transmission Gallery, Glasgow; AC Project Room, New York; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; White Columns, New York; Participant Inc., New York, Anthology Film Archives, New York, and Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris
