The Vanishing Point: Moving Images After Video
This volume tracks the fugitive afterlife of the moving image ever since the proclaimed death of celluloid film. At once everywhere and nowhere, rapidly circulating moving images have become archives of public memory, degraded repositories of what was cinema, surveillance tools and instruments of governance.
In this book, filmmakers, moving image artists and theorists are assembled to reconstruct one of the most elusive, and significant, transformations of the millennial turn.
Book launch and discussion with the Mediastorm Collective at the Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA), New Delhi, in November 2022.
