Description
Garrett Bradley's work quietly devastates and redefines our understanding of reality. This book-length publication explores her approach to filmmaking, which blurs the lines between fact and fiction as she addresses themes such as race, class, familial relationships, social justice, and cultural histories in the United States. Through conversations with the artist and contributions from notable scholars, this book delves into Bradley's collaborative and research-based practice. Her films exist simultaneously in the past, present, and future, challenging our perceptions of time and truth-telling. By adopting archival material alongside newly shot footage, Bradley's narratives unfold naturally, revealing individual and collective stories that lyrically render the social, economic, and racial politics of everyday life. This is the first volume in a new series, Re: , which will respond to a number of its artists and themes past and present.
