At the heart of her artistic quest, is the notion of absence,filling her films - places of hallucinated archives and experimentation at the border of documentary and fiction - with ghostly presences.

Working and exploring beyond the single screen experience, she also creates video pieces for theater and for exhibition spaces, (« it is like a finger pointing a way to the moon » in collaboration with Moya Michael @ KVS-WIELS ; « Joy Boy, A tribute to Julius Eastman » in collaboration with Collectif Faire-Part, Fallon Mayanja et Mawena Yahouessi @ deSingel). In parallel to her filmmaking practice, Victoire Karera K. has worked as a documentary research assistant on Johan Grimonprez's last feature film “Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat”, awarded at Sundance and nominated at the Oscars.

She is currently working on a documentary project titled "Ejo", which was selected for the Doc Lab Montreal 2024 from the festival RIDM. And last but not least Victoire is currently one of the 2024–2026 Beursschouwburg associated artists
