dc.description.abstract | Holding Still is a video installation and live performance that explores relationships between memory, photography, time, representation and the separation between self and image. This document presents an accumulation of research, reflections and personal anecdotes that have driven the artwork. Through Bartges’ search to understand her relationship with her deceased father’s image, she examines her old photos and home videos in the context of historical photography and discussions of transformation, mechanical reproduction and the psychology of the extended self. Bartges also discusses performance experiments of self-representation, labor, repetition and reenactment as methods to resuscitate the media remnants left behind. | en_US |
