Description
Installation and the Moving Image explores the evolution of filmic and televisual phenomena in controlled gallery environments from the 1960s to the present. This volume delves into the lineage of moving-image installation, tracing its development through various art forms and historical constructs.
The book examines key formal, theoretical, and historical parameters of moving-image installation, including sound, spectatorship, and digital technology. It also considers the procedural, political, and ideological positions of artists from the mid-twentieth century to the present, drawing on the author's own experiences as a practitioner and critic.
Through engaging narratives and insightful analysis, Installation and the Moving Image sheds light on the complex relationships between art, film, and installation. The book raises essential questions about the role of the artist in this context, leaving readers to ponder the significance of moving-image installation for contemporary practice.
