First Person Film: Performing the Self

Research output: Contribution to conferenceConference paper (not formally published)peer-review

Abstract

The themes and strands of my practice as an artist film-maker originate in childhood from a time before the development of a complex verbal language. These mind images embody a synthesis of sensory experience. They emerge as thoughts half-remembered between waking and falling asleep and dreams recalled whilst surfacing from sleep. This flow from the interior is an improvised and poetic performance of self that becomes manifested in the materials and materiality of film-making – a placing of the self in place.
