Janet Cardiff: A Survey of Works,Including Collaborations with George Bures Miller - Carolyn Christo

Shifting between fact and fiction, between the experience of the real and our projections, fantasies, and desires, Janet Cardiff's audio-video and multimedia installations explore the complexity and vertiginous nature of subjectivity in a highly technological world. They are interactive pieces where visitors are asked to touch, listen, smell, and often move through an environment shaped both by our perceptions and by the artist's alteration of them. With references to film noir, science fiction, cyber-punk and various other filmic genres, her works, often created in collaboration with husband George Bures Miller, address the constant need to negotiate between presence and loss of self, memory and experience, sensation and imagination.Christov-Bakargiev, Carolyn is the author of 'Janet Cardiff: A Survey of Works,Including Collaborations with George Bures Miller - Carolyn Christo' with ISBN 9780970442826 and ISBN 0970442823.
