Visual Echoes: Destabilising memories through Photographic Re-enactment

Aktiviteetti: Konferenssiesitelmä

Description

This paper will propose the potentialities of photographic re-enactment in destabilizing and revealing new understandings of both collective and personal memories.

To explore this topic, the paper will intertwine performance theory with photographic theory, particularly focusing on Rebecca Schneider's interest in the inter(in)amination between the past and the present that photographic re-enactments imbue. Through re-enactment's ability to syncopate time, not only through the recitation of past narratives in present time and place but also through its interconnection of the still reproductive medium of photography with the live and impermanent action of performance, it can punctuate our past with our present, offering an ability to hack or glitch the past and rewrite canonical history to reveal non-normative ways of understanding.
