event: NEW THURSDAY CLUBS with ELENA COLOGNI
The Film As Document In (Of) Real Time
A meta-linguistic performative experiment.
Key questions:
1. In my video live installations I investigate the perception of time
(psychological time ), non simultaneous artist and audience interchange in
liveness, and the production of the video document. Live recording,
pre-recording and their transmission, as overlapping layers of
representation of time, unfold in duration.
2. I am now starting to contextualising the recent work, which I believe
challenges the early Bergsonian differentiation between memory and
perception based on the assumption that the former is linked to the past
(representation) and the latter to the present (action) (as in latest
Deleuzean scholar Guerlac ’s book).
3. I also contribute to the debate on performance documentation in
parallel to recent Auslander’s publication : embedding the document (eg.:
video recording) in the event allows audience to witness its very
production, thus emphasising the document’s ‘performativity’ aspect.
ELENA COLOGNI is an art practitioner. Currently Research Fellow at York St
John University, her PhD ‘The Artist’s Performative Practice Within The
Anti-Oculatcentric Discourse’ is from Central Saint Martins College of Art
and Design (CSM), London. After the post-doc AHRC and CSM awarded project
'Present Memory and Liveness in delivery and reception of video
documentation during performance art events', she was at Glasgow Centre
for Contemporary Arts for a Creative Lab residency focusing on questions
of migrations, remoteness and transmission of information over time and
space. She is active in the debate on practice as research methodologies,
as well as the relationship between performance and new media. Her artwork
has been presented internationally.
