The Videography of Darcy Lange is a critical monograph of a
pivotal figure in early analogue video. Trained as a sculptor at
the Royal College of Art, Lange developed a socially engaged video
practice with remarkable studies of people at work in industrial,
farming, and teaching contexts that drew from conceptual art,
social documentary and structuralist filmmaking. Lange saw in
portable video a democratic tool for communication and social
transformation, continuing the legacy of the revolutionary
avant-garde projects that merged art with social life and turned
audiences into producers. This book follows Lange's trajectory from
his early observational studies to the crisis of representation and
socially engaged video and activism, as it is shaped by, and
resists, the artistic, cultural and political preoccupations of the
1970s and 1980s. It strikes a balance between being a monographic
account providing a close analysis of Lange's oeuvre and drawing
from unpublished archival materials—a sort of catalogue
raisonné—whilst maintaining a breadth with theoretical
discourses around the themes of labour and class, education, and
indigenous struggles central to his work. The book's frameworks of
Conceptual Art, structuralist and ethnographic film theory, social
documentary and the critique of representation, video as social
practice and the notion of 'feedback', participatory socially
engaged art and postcolonial and indigenous theory,—expand our
understanding of video outside the predominant structuralist
tendencies. Lange's transnational and nomadic career introduces
notions of alterity and challenges nationalistic accounts that
excluded him in the past.Â
