Throughout this book we discover what our idea of memory would be
without the moving image. This thought provoking analysis examines
how the medium has informed modern and contemporary models of
memory. The book examines the ways in which cinematic optic
procedures inform an understanding of memory processes. Critical to
the reciprocity of mind and screen is forgetting and the
problematic that it inscribes into memory and its relation to
contested histories. Through a consideration of artworks
(film/video and sound installation) by artists whose practice has
consistently engaged with issues surrounding memory, amnesia and
trauma, the book brings to bear neuro-psychological insight and its
implication with the moving image (as both image and sound) to a
consideration of the global landscape of memory and the politics of
memory that inform them. The artists featured include Kerry Tribe,
Shona Illingworth, Bill Fontana, Lutz Becker, Yervant Gianikian and
Angela Ricci Lucchi, Harun Faorcki, and Eyal Sivan.
